Operating leased power capacity

Company: Core Scientific

This claim was withdrawn on September 6, 2026. The deck labels ~1.1 GW as total customer *contracted* power and 7 states as the overall footprint, not operating leased capacity — leased sites span five states (TX, GA, OK, NC, AL) and only ~395 billing MW / ~430 MW was in service as of 2Q26, with full delivery running through 2028.

How this was decided: Evidence review against the cited source. The claim is preserved below exactly as it was originally published, so the record shows what was asserted as well as what became of it.

Subject kind: facility capacity

How we checked this

Checked on September 19, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.

The deck's ~1.1 GW figure and 7-state footprint are present, but the 1.1 GW is labeled total customer contracted power, not operated/leased capacity in service.

Confirmed in the source:

Core Scientific's footprint spans 7 states
Core Scientific reports ~1.1 GW of total customer contracted power

We could not confirm this from the cited source:

That Core Scientific 'operates' ~1.1 GW of leased power capacity (the ~1.1 GW is characterized as contracted power, and billing capacity is only ~395 MW)

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/1839341/000183934126000013/q2fy26earningsdeck728am.htm) in full (12,617 characters, retrieved September 2, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
