Where it stands

CleanSpark's Camp Pendleton work covers two microgrids on the base: the 1.1MW FractalGrid demonstration facility and a $900,000 turn-key microgrid for the Navy's CIS operations complex. The FractalGrid assets were fully impaired in FY2017 pending release to USMC Camp Pendleton. The CIS microgrid was completed and accepted by the government in May 2019. Later filings (2025-2026) mention Camp Pendleton only as historical work before CleanSpark's pivot to bitcoin mining, so current physical operation and ownership after 2019 are not confirmed. The 1.1MW figure applies only to the FractalGrid; no MW is stated for the CIS microgrid.

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

Approximate address 1160 Vandegrift Blvd, Oceanside, CA 92058, USA Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.
Conclusion so far The signals are weak or disagree -- not called yet. · confidence 30%
Undetermined -- the signals are weak or disagree: night-time lights at the site ran 8.9x the surrounding area (2 of 2 clear nights, 2026-09-23 to 2026-10-04); surface temperature +0.9 K against its surroundings (10 pass(es), 2026-09-15 to 2026-10-27). Based on 32 clear observation(s) from 2026-07-04 to 2026-11-01.
What would change this: A consistent signal across night lights, heat and optical change.
