Where sources give different figures, each is shown with who gave it, and another source's figure never stands in for the record's own. Entries are added and never overwritten; corrections are listed under What happened.

How much power it needs, also reported: 2 GW, 2026 (Beaver County Radio: Project Phoenix data center capacity 2 gigawatts, Construction Review: The campus is designed for 2 gigawatt capacity., The Keystone Newsroom: Project Phoenix is a 2 GW data center campus) .

Jobs once it runs, also reported: 3,000 jobs, 2026 (Washington Examiner: Project Phoenix will create 3,000 construction jobs and 640 permanent operations careers, Beaver County Radio: Project Phoenix expected to support 3,000 jobs in construction, Beaver County Times: Project Phoenix expected to support 3,000 construction jobs, Construction Review: The project is estimated to support about 3,000 construction jobs during development., The Keystone Newsroom: Project Phoenix expected to support 3000 construction jobs); 640 jobs, 2026 (Beaver County Times: Project Phoenix will create more than 640 full time operational roles, The Keystone Newsroom: Project Phoenix will create more than 640 full time operational roles, Construction Review: The completed campus is expected to create about 640 full time positions for ongoing operations., Beaver County Radio: Project Phoenix will create more than 640 full time operational roles) .

The developer's figure is what the company said; what a permit allows is the ceiling a permit sets; measured means observed. Water is in gallons a day or a year, whichever the source stated; a tax claim given as a range shows both ends, each linked to the source that gave it.
