## Data quality

- The exact asset is QTS San Antonio 2 / QTS SAT2-DC1 at 8535 Potranco Road, San Antonio, as confirmed by the official QTS campus page and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation record.
- QTS operator-wide community commitments were not treated as proven site-specific benefits.
- The QTS San Antonio III Omicron Subdivision is a separate nearby project and was not merged into this asset.
- The reviewed local and trade sources indicate that public information about some San Antonio-area data-center projects is limited.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
