CleanSpark Enters Texas With 285 MW Power Agreements to Build AI Data Center Campus

The bitcoin miner aims to speed AI capacity by monetizing megawatts with mining before converting select sites to high‑performance compute.

Overview

  • CleanSpark acquired rights to roughly 271 acres in Austin County, Texas, and signed long‑term power agreements totaling 285 megawatts for a next‑generation AI campus, with more than 200 megawatts targeted for energization in the first half of 2027.
  • The Texas site increases the company’s power under contract by 28% and sits on a regional fiber backbone near high‑capacity natural gas pipelines that are being evaluated for potential behind‑the‑meter generation.
  • The company says it won a 100‑megawatt data center site in Cheyenne, Wyoming, over Microsoft, crediting its ability to deploy infrastructure far faster than traditional AI builds.
  • CleanSpark announced a partnership framework with Submer to develop liquid‑cooled, high‑density AI data center campuses across North America, with definitive agreements expected to follow.
  • The operator reports about 1.03 gigawatts of energized facilities and 1.7 gigawatts in development, holds 12,703 bitcoin in treasury, and uses interruptible mining loads that have redirected power to the grid during emergencies in Georgia.
