How we checked this
Checked on October 16, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The document confirms Colchis, a 1 GW Texas site, holds conditional Batch Zero base load status. However, it frames this as part of ERCOT's audit process, while the 'updated process' wording appears to describe a different site, Apollo.
Confirmed in the source:
- Cipher's Colchis site in Texas is a 1 GW site
- The Colchis site has received conditional Batch Zero base load status with ERCOT
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The presentation does not clearly say Colchis received its status in ERCOT's 'updated' process; it ties Colchis's status to ERCOT's audit process, and uses 'updated process' for the separate Apollo site
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.
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (8-K Ex) (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819989/000119312526419743/d134900dex991.htm) in full (17,922 characters, retrieved October 14, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
