How we verify

Every figure on Main Street Megawatt links to a public source. Anything with no source at all is left out. Each figure carries one of three labels.

The three labels

Verified We opened the primary source (a government filing, agency page or company announcement) and checked that it states this figure.
Reported A company or government statement gives this figure. We link it, but we have not independently confirmed it.
Planned The figure belongs to a proposal or forecast for something not yet built.

How we word figures

We say who stated each number, for example "Developer says up to 1,500 jobs." Construction jobs and permanent jobs are kept apart and never added together. We call a construction figure a peak only when the source says peak or at one time.

What we cite

Government sources (federal, state and local), company and developer pages and official campaign pages for candidate positions. We do not cite client-only sell-side research. Upstream registries help us find sites, but a registry listing alone does not make a site operating.
