Where it stands

NC-1 in Madison, NC moved from construction into active customer deployment in August 2026, with about 20 MW of IT capacity available to Nscale and initial billing under way; management expected the full 40 MW Phase 1 to reach run-rate billing by end of August, but no passage confirms that was achieved. Later passages (through 2026-09-30) say only that NC-1 has begun billing, with 99 MW under utility agreement and a possible path to ~300 gross MW; project-level financing was in definitive documentation as of September. NC-2 and NC-3 are separate sites about 55 miles away and are not counted here.
