Where it stands

Canal Flats is IREN's first site and has run as a 30MW Bitcoin mining data center since 2019; filings still report about 30MW of capacity as of December 31, 2025. IREN plans to convert the full 30MW to liquid-cooled AI Cloud capacity for GB300 GPUs, and said its S21 Pro miners there would run through September 2026 and then be sold. No passage confirms that retrofit work has started or that mining has stopped, so the site is treated as operational with a planned conversion.

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.
