How we checked this
Checked on September 24, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article says ERCOT's Batch Zero process produced conditional classifications for other listed operators, including Core Scientific. It describes only Cipher's classification as base load and does not say which type Core Scientific received.
Confirmed in the source:
- Core Scientific received a conditional classification through ERCOT's Batch Zero process
- The classification relates to ERCOT, the Texas grid operator
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- Core Scientific's conditional classification was specifically a base load classification
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
