How we checked this
Checked on October 12, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The expansion footnote is attached to the 'Pecos, TX 71 MW' entry rather than to the separately described Cottonwood campus. The Cottonwood section itself describes a 200 MW expansion capacity.
Confirmed in the source:
- A 100 MW expansion is underway at the Pecos, Texas (71 MW) site
- The expansion includes 21 MW for opportunistic mining using prior-generation miners
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The 100 MW expansion is at the Cottonwood facility specifically
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.
