Power over time

facility power · 4 milestones

Every milestone

1 Oct 2023 — Land clearing begins.
8 Sep 2025 — We believe Buildings 1 and 2 are still undergoing testing due to construction equipment and unfinished land surrounding the data center sites, as well as color motion artifacts on a small number of the cooling fans.
7 Dec 2025 179 MW Buildings 1 and 2 both estimated to be operational 90 days after testing was underway in September.
2 May 2026 179 MW Satellite image shows strong evidence that Buildings 1 and 2 are operational: colored motion artifacts on many cooling fans, plus cars parked at the building entrances.
