Provider notes
Energy. 1,000 MW interconnection agreement with AEP Texas; energization expected Q1 2027. Hut 8 is funding an on-site substation via the $4.25B project bond; no on-site generation disclosed.
Water. Closed-loop cooling filled once with water trucked from outside Nueces County (~4-7 year refill cycle); no municipal draw for cooling. Municipal use is ~10,000 gal/day domestic only (restrooms/sinks) - not cooling water -> reportedMgd omitted.
Community. Residents raised concerns at public meetings about water use amid Nueces County Stage 3 restrictions, power demand, and proximity to homes; Corpus Christi officials said they were 'surprised by the announcement.' Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot publicly defended the project against 'misinformation'; the AA-/higher-rated hyperscale tenant is undisclosed. No litigation as of 2026-07-08.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced investment: The source note says the investment field records non-recourse project-bond financing raised for the first construction phase, a financing amount rather than an announced investment figure.
What the source record says
1 GW site near Robstown, Nueces County; Phase 1 = a 15-year, 352 MW IT lease. The $9.8B base-term contract value is revenue, not capex (in notes). Delivery targeted Q3 2027. Coordinates are the Robstown area centroid. Hut 8 declined to confirm any tax abatement and the Nueces County Judge said the county's abatement policy was out of date, so none could have been granted -> subsidies honest-zero. investmentUsd records the $4.25B non-recourse project-bond financing for Phase 1 construction (352 MW + substation), distinct from the $9.8B lease contract value; the ~$17B combined Phase 1-2 figure is a projection.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
