Yes, if this thing ever gets built, it will set a whole bunch of new records.

If it doesn't get built, it will still set a bunch of records; some of them probably quite infamous.

It is hard to describe the ridiculous scale they are trying to do there. For comparison, typical electrical demand is 17 GW and peaking to 25, with total generation capacity being 30 GW. That includes us-east-2, which is not a small data centre (consumes probably right around 2 GW, so represents about 10% of the state's power demand).

So they're talking about a project that would increase total power consumption in the state over 50%... in addition to building multiple nuclear power plants to fund it. Predicting 2,500 permanent jobs in a county of 27,000 total people, so that's a lot of people moving in.
