Core Scientific Denton 1 Data Center Campus

- Utility
- Denton Municipal Electric
In its September 10, 2026 filing, Core Scientific reported conditional Base Load Pathway (a) approval for 297 MW of existing Denton power and validation of an additional 74 MW in the 2025 Regional Transmission Plan; neither was subject to Batch Zero. These are power-approval categories, not operating IT capacity, and should not be added together to replace the campus envelope or contracted HPC figures. Core Scientific is converting and expanding its established Denton campus for phased CoreWeave HPC delivery while some campus capacity has already begun generating colocation revenue.
Capacity
Operating IT capacity: Not established in published records
A missing figure does not mean zero. Planned, utility and generation figures are not operating IT capacity.
Development
125 MW operating baseline reported in April 2024; remaining mining allocation at cutoff unresolved.
Denton data halls completed in Q2 and Q3 2025; delivered MW requires reconciliation.
Raises planned CoreWeave critical IT capacity at Denton to approximately 260 MW.
