50MW data center capacity construction at Childress in 2024
Company: IREN - Project: Childress
What the later record shows
Delivered; the record does not say when
Childress had about 100 MW in mid-2024 with Phases 2 and 3 under construction, and about 650 MW operating by June 30, 2025, so the additional capacity was built. No passage says whether the extra 50MW was finished within 2024.
