Planned / design: 1,500 MW
Updated: Oct 28, 2026

Core Scientific disclosed that its Polaris acquisition closed on August 13, 2026 for approximately $444.3 million in cash, securing 440 MW of gross grid-connected capacity. The acquired power capacity is not new operating AI IT load; the next approximately 82 MW of customer delivery remained forecast for the second half of 2027. Core Scientific is developing a high-density computing campus at the Port of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Company disclosures distinguish a 1.5 GW gross full-build plan from roughly 1 GW of potential leasable capacity, while a 70 MW building entered final commissioning in 2026 and a second 82.5 MW building remains under construction. The 1.5 GW figure is therefore a future gross site objective, not operating IT load. Tenant commitments, phase financing, transmission and later construction remain dependent on execution.
