Field notes
The proposed chain runs from a shore switchyard through a 66 kV step-down and export cable to switchgear on the barge deck. The page estimates roughly 80 45-foot GigaPods per 120-by-36-metre deck and lists cooling-water temperatures for San Francisco Bay and the Gulf. It also names electrical, thermal-discharge, marine, and local approvals as constraints; the site labels the shortlist planning material, not an engineering study.
