TeraWulf doubles contracted power at Muskie Data Campus to 1 gigawatt
The company moves the second 500 megawatt phase forward to 2029 from 2030, pending Kentucky regulators and Kentucky Power's construction timeline

TeraWulf said its subsidiary DB Long Hunts Data LLC has signed amended transmission and energy service agreements with Kentucky Power, an American Electric Power company, doubling contracted power capacity at its Muskie Data Campus in eastern Kentucky to 1 gigawatt from 500 megawatts.
The amendment pulls forward the planned delivery of Muskie's second 500 megawatt phase to 2029 from 2030. That timeline depends on approval from the Kentucky Public Service Commission and on Kentucky Power's own construction schedule. The first 500 megawatt phase is still targeted to begin ramping in 2028. The agreements were executed on October 1, 2026.
TeraWulf also said it intends to upsize its existing senior secured revolving credit facility and seek additional senior secured debt to cover letter of credit needs tied to its power development partnerships.
The move doubles the contracted capacity at a single site and compresses the buildout timeline by a year, underscoring how TeraWulf is racing to secure grid capacity as power availability has become the main constraint on data center expansion for artificial intelligence computing. Funding the expansion with more secured debt and a larger revolver, rather than new equity, raises the company's leverage and ties its near term liquidity to letter of credit obligations linked to its power partnerships, a structure other bitcoin miners turned data center hosts have also relied on while pursuing demand from hyperscale computing customers. The accelerated 2029 date remains conditional on regulatory approval and the utility's construction progress rather than guaranteed.
