Every milestone
  1. 1 Apr 2024 — First signs of development/land clearing
  2. 13 Sep 2024 — Roof complete on Building 1 (the 'H'), although we suspect this building is not for AI compute due to the construction speed, irregular design, and lack of external cooling.
  3. 10 Jun 2025 — After a long quiet period they've laid foundations for Building 2 and the substation.
  4. 1 Oct 2025 — Building 2 looks externally complete
  5. 1 Mar 2026 — The cooling towers for Buildings 2 and 3 are both a little less than half done and the buildings still look like active construction sites.
  6. 19 Aug 2026 — Building 2 has all cooling towers installed and is likely undergoing fit-out and commissioning. So we give it about 3 more months until it's operational. Building 3 appears to be slightly further than Building 2 was in March, so we estimate a 4-month lag.
  7. 1 Dec 2026 · projected 207 MW Estimated operational date of Building 2.
  8. 31 Mar 2027 · projected 414 MW Estimated operational date of Building 3. Based on Building 3 construction looking about 4 months behind Building 2.
  9. 28 Aug 2027 · projected 621 MW Estimated operational date of Building 4. Based on Building 4 construction looking about 10 months behind Building 2.
  10. 25 Jan 2028 · projected 828 MW Estimated operational date of Building 5. Based on previous buildings being separated by about 5 months.
  11. 23 Jun 2028 · projected 1.0 GW Estimated operational date of Building 6. Based on previous buildings being separated by about 5 months.
