incremental revenue from bringing 200 MW online ~6 months early, undiscounted gross (~$10–13B/GW/yr basis); the same source's discounted figure is an NPV of ~$400–500M (contested — single-source)

Value kindestimate — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
CaveatContested, and the spread is wider than any single source: a primary SEC-filed 200 MW AI-cloud contract implies ~$9.7B/GW/yr, SemiAnalysis put it at ~$10–12B/GW/yr in 2025 and ~$12–13M per MW-year (~$12–13B/GW/yr) in June 2026. Contract mix, tenancy and utilization move it materially — treat as an order-of-magnitude denominator, not a rate card.
