Power over time

facility power · 3 milestones

Every milestone

1 May 2024 — Land clearing begins.
21 Mar 2026 — Both buildings and their cooling infrastructure look complete, but the site probably is likely still under commissioning, and few cars are parked to the right of Building 1. We give another 3 months before it's operational.
19 Jun 2026 241 MW Buildings 1 and 2 are estimated to be operational.

Gas made 37% of the power on this site's grid
