The station has about 210 MW of operating generation; TeraWulf agreed to buy it and FERC authorized the acquisition on July 29, 2026, with other closing conditions pending. TeraWulf lists 800 MW of critical IT capacity, contemplates about 500 MW in an initial phase scaling toward 1 GW, and targets initial data center operations around 2030. Plans include gas generation, battery storage and demand-response capability.
