Oct 28, 2026

Project Kilby's current operator timeline, checked October 28, 2026, forecasts full capacity in 2031, distinct from first power targeted for 2028. National Grid's July 1, 2026 announcement of a US$1.75 billion investment for a 35% stake in Joulent is company-level funding supporting development, not an allocation of that entire amount to Kilby construction. Co-located Energy Forge One generation facility contracted to serve Microsoft Pecos; generation capacity is not campus IT capacity. Project Kilby Power Facility is located in Pecos area, TX, US and is a generation site in preconstruction status.
