How we checked this
Checked on September 18, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article says the initial capacity arrives in 2029 and 2030; it does not split it into initial capacity in 2029 and additional capacity in 2030.
Confirmed in the source:
- Applied Digital works with Base Electron on roughly 1.2 gigawatts of natural gas-fired generation in the Dakotas
- Initial capacity from that work arrives in 2029 and 2030
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- Initial capacity arrives in 2029 and additional capacity follows in 2030
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.
