The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 1830 MW facility would draw roughly 5.8 million to 20.9 million gallons of water a day, about what 66,700 households use.

Base rate freeze through 2028 (docket 44280) holds base rates flat from July 2025. Fuel and storm riders are separate and can still move. Real-time pricing revenue credit and cost allocation review (docket 57171) is pending before the commission without a published residential figure yet. 2026 fuel and storm cost settlement (docket 44280, 56765) takes about $4.04 a month off a typical bill from June 2026.
