Provider notes
Energy. Kentucky Power (an AEP company) is building a 345 kV substation on the existing 765 kV network to serve the campus. TeraWulf confirmed it will pay the full Industrial General Service tariff with no discounts or exemptions. Phased power: 500 MW H2 2028, +500 MW H2 2030.
Community. Boyd County Judge-Executive Eric Chaney and FIVCO-region officials are broadly supportive; the City of Ashland enacted a moratorium on new data-center applications within city limits (site is outside city limits). Tax revenue projected to benefit schools across the five FIVCO counties.
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 permanent jobs: The source note says permanent jobs are official projections, not a reported headcount.
What the source record says
TeraWulf's second Kentucky campus (alongside the Justified/Hawesville campus tracked separately). TeraWulf (Nasdaq: WULF), historically a bitcoin miner, repositioning toward HPC/AI. Muskie is a 285-acre site at EastPark Industrial Park (a 1,000-acre former strip mine). Planned 1+ GW phased: initial 500 MW ramp H2 2028, additional 500 MW targeted H2 2030. County discrepancy: local TV cites Boyd County, but Wikipedia and the Lane Report place EastPark primarily in Greenup County (site straddles Boyd/Greenup/Carter); Greenup used, city Ashland retained as the regional reference. INVESTMENT OMITTED: the $4B figure came from a Boyd County official, not TeraWulf's investor PR or 8-K. ~300 permanent jobs are official projections (in notes, not jobs). TeraWulf stated it will pay the full standard industrial tariff with no subsidies. Coordinates are the EastPark park centroid.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
