CCS. The blue connector has two CCS plugs paired side by side.

I doubt either party is looking to make money on this first station. Press statement:
"The site is built to immediately provide charging for EVs of all shapes and sizes, and will serve as an innovation center, allowing both PGE and DTNA to study energy management, charger use and performance, and, in the case of DTNA, its own vehicles’ charging performance."

Open to anyone and any vehicle with a CCS plug. The article does say some of the 8 chargers will be reserved for Daimler.

Ionity has mostly 350 kW chargers with Type-2 CCS for cars here.

Different articles have different numbers. Some say 150 kW, some 250 kW, and some say 350 kW.
Unless something has changed from earlier press releases they are 150 kW with the dual plugs capable of charging at 300 kW.
