What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-27

Track; not yet

Why
It is a real, grid-delivering commercial asset (first of its kind in the US) so it is notable and citable now, but the developer's own completion claims have already slipped once (Iberdrola's July 2025 promise of full COD by end-2025 did not happen; still ~37% mid-2026) and an active 9-figure supplier lawsuit puts the remaining ~63% of capacity at genuine risk of not being finished as designed
Next
Recheck at GE Vernova litigation resolution and at the next turbine-commissioning update (watch for full-COD announcement or further BSEE action)
