The August 2026 compilation: phase 1 promised for H1 2026, delivered 6 Jul 2026 (133 MW of critical IT), six days past the half-year. The August 2026 compilation cites Galaxy’s releases of 15 Aug 2025 and 6 Jul 2026 for the row and does not say which states the H1 2026 date; a held copy of the 2025 release would settle it. 526 MW is Galaxy’s contracted critical IT.
