Our own notes

These remarks are Arizona AI's own. They say how this record is counted or what we could not find, so there is no outside page to link.

Arizona AI found no page of Ark Data Centers' own with this site's figures, so the power figure comes from the press. Arizona AI shows no opening year because the reports disagree.
