Stream STAMP Campus (Project Double Reed)

Stream Data Centers' 500 MW (utility load) campus for an unnamed Fortune 50 tenant at STAMP in Alabama, New York, on hold amid lawsuits.

Under review, on hold. The development agency approved a 250 MW version in Mar. 2025, rescinded it Sept. 2025 as Stream sought more capacity. The 500 MW application has no final approval, environmental determination or state air permit. On hold per Oct. 2026 reporting.
