River Bend initial utility capacity availability
Company: Hut 8 - Project: River Bend
What the later record shows
The date slipped
In the August 2026 Q2 release, after the July 1, 2026 target, River Bend's 330 MW was still counted as Energy Capacity Under Construction. Hut 8 moves sites to Under Management only once they are energized. No passage states the utility capacity became available or gives a new date for it; initial data hall delivery is targeted for Q2 2027.
