There is more than corn in Indiana! (A local saying)
Those costs per MW are interesting... Seems unlikely that AWS is spending almost 3x what other folks are for something comparable. Even for an expansion the building piece is usually dwarfed by the MEP particularly in a dense world... I suspect some of those are conflating total site capacity after all phases and capex for phase 1 and / or IT capacity v's incoming..
