In brief

What makes it notable.

  1. A retrofit of a roughly 1 million square foot former textile plant on 96 acres, bought for $45M, to Tier 3-equivalent specs: up to 150 kW per cabinet, N+1 cooling and a target PUE of 1.3.
  2. Duke Energy Carolinas staged power at 24 MW, 40 MW and 99 MW within four years, with work done to deliver the initial 54 MW gross as of May 2026.
  3. Feasibility is about 200 MW, with a company target near 300 MW gross over time. About 35 MW of the 40 MW contracted was operating by November 2026, after switchgear commissioning issues interrupted service.
