OpenAI drops 600 MW at Abilene; the 1.2 GW Stargate build continues

Evidence and uncertainty

Bloomberg and DCD support the 6 March account of abandoned expansion talks and reported causes. OpenAI's 2025 announcements establish the 600 MW option, the live Abilene programme and the broader multi-site partnership. AP documents Microsoft's later agreement and the ten-building, 2.1 GW tract expectation.

Public evidence does not expose the cancelled lease, financing documents, internal forecasts, outage investigation or achieved load. Capacity figures are plans or expectations unless a source explicitly says equipment is operating and power is delivered.
