How the time-to-power window was estimated
Evidence used
  • Current stage: Operational (furthest stage with documented evidence)[1]
  • Stated date: Next projected milestone: 2027-05-31 (modeled/speculative)[1]
  • Required: 395 MW
Assumptions
  • From “Under construction”, large loads have typically taken 0.5–2 more years to first power (editorial range; see Methodology).
  • The window is a range of plausible outcomes under these assumptions, not a forecast. It moves as new filings, queue updates or imagery arrive.
Window: H1 2027 – H2 2028

Utility, ISO and nearby assets are derived from the site's location. Proximity to a substation or line doesn't establish the interconnection; that needs a utility filing or interconnection-queue record. Queue requests are applications, not commitments — most never reach operation.

  3. Dec 31, 202594 MW facility power· 3 buildings operational[1]

    Half the campus energized. 67 billable MW are now dedicated to CoreWeave's GPUs across three buildings.

  4. Feb 23, 2026183 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Buildings 1-3 (Denton North) are largely built out/operational, and Denton South has its first data hall plus support equipment substantially installed. Remaining Denton South buildings (4-7) still under construction. This is according to satellite imagery.

  5. Mar 2, 2026183 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Buildings 1-3 (Denton North) are fully operational running AI (Denton North at 90 MW, Denton South partially running at 41). This is according to an earnings call from this date.

  6. Jul 3, 2026367 MW facility power· 7 buildings operational[1]

    Buildings 1-7 are operational and running, with no construction work visible. This is based on both satellite imagery, and the Q2 2026 Earnings call stating the campus was operational by midyear 2026.

  7. Sep 1, 2026367 MW facility power· 7 buildings operational[1]

    Building 8 interior fit-out scheduled to begin. TDLR project TABS2026028247 schedules a $110M interior fit-out of the existing 27,678.22 sq ft Building A as a data hall beginning September 1, 2026.

  8. May 31, 2027Projected395 MW facility power· 8 buildings operational[1]

    Building 8 projected operational. TDLR project TABS2026028247 schedules Building A's data-hall fit-out for completion by this date.
