Tract Morris Technology Park
Tract. Approved, 1000 MW
Denver based Tract paid about 51.5 million dollars for 343 acres near Gun Club Road and Route 6 off Interstate 80 in Morris, its first Chicago area site, to build the Morris Technology Park, a 2.9 million square foot campus designed for up to 1 gigawatt of load. City approval was secured in 2025 and the land purchase closed in January 2026, with initial power targeted for June 2028 and full build out by 2032. The project has drawn organized local opposition, including a June 2026 protest over concerns about water and farmland.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 1000 MW facility would draw roughly 3.2 million to 11.4 million gallons of water a day, about what 36,500 households use.
This case does not change what a household pays today, but it is the main tool Illinois regulators are using to try to stop the cost of new grid equipment for data centers from landing on residential bills. ComEd annual reconciliation rate case (docket 25-0383) adds about $3.10 a month to a typical bill from January 2026. PJM capacity auction price spike hits ComEd supply charges adds about $10.50 a month to a typical bill from June 2025.
