Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.

| Metric | Value | As of | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facility power | 1,000 MW | 2026-07-20 | Design target | Hut 8: 1,000 MW of utility capacity secured under an AEP Texas interconnection agreement. Utility capacity, not measured facility draw. | sec.gov |
| IT power | 704 MW | 2026-07-20 | Design target | Hut 8 release: two 352 MW IT leases total 704 MW at Beacon Point. First Phase 2 hall Q2 2028; energization Q1 2027. Contracted, not yet built. | sec.gov |
The read
Hut 8's 1 GW Beacon Point campus in Nueces County, Texas, fully leased to one unnamed high-investment-grade tenant for AI training and inference: a 15-year 352 MW IT lease signed 6 May 2026 (9.8 billion dollars, first data hall Q3 2027) and a second identical lease on 20 July 2026 bringing contracted IT load to 704 MW (first Phase 2 hall Q2 2028). Initial energization is scheduled for Q1 2027 under a 1,000 MW AEP Texas interconnection agreement, and Hut 8 says the design follows NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture. No accelerator count is stated, and the tenant is undisclosed. Hut 8 is the only source organisation, so the tier is reported.
