About TeraWulf

TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ: WULF) develops and operates high-performance data centers designed for the next generation of digital infrastructure.

With deep expertise in energy infrastructure, we deliver efficient, modular, and future-ready computing solutions that align technological advancement with environmental responsibility. Our mission is to lead the convergence of energy and technology through transparent, sustainable, and forward-looking operations.

About the Project

Located on approximately 285 acres across two adjacent parcels in Eastern Kentucky, the Muskie Data Campus development is expected to become one of the largest scalable AI and HPC development sites in the state. The phased buildout is expected to support north of one gigawatt of data center capacity over time, with initial operations beginning in 2028.

TeraWulf is committed to responsible site stewardship concerning development within an established industrial park setting. The campus is expected to create hundreds of jobs, generate significant new tax revenue, expand high-speed fiber, and drive long-term economic growth across Eastern Kentucky and the broader region.

Project Highlights

  • Development of the ~285 acre property is planned across two adjacent parcels with a phased buildout.

    Phase I is expected to deliver ~500 MW of AI/HPC data center capacity across two buildings, with operations commencing in late 2028 and early 2029.

    Phase II is expected to bring the total campus capacity to ~1,000 MW in 2030, with further expansion potential beyond 1 GW from 2031 onward.

  • The project is expected to create hundreds of well-paying construction jobs over a multi-year buildout, as well as permanent operational positions and additional contractor opportunities. These positions are supported by local hiring and workforce training through partnerships with regional institutions and technical schools.

    AI/HPC tenants and vendors supporting the site are anticipated to generate additional local employment across operations, services, and supporting industries.

  • Construction is expected to commence in 2027 following planning and permitting activities, with initial operations targeted for late 2028 and additional phases continuing through 2030 onward.

  • This development will meaningfully increase local tax base while supporting schools, infrastructure, and community services. Additionally, ongoing partnerships with local officials and regional organizations will aid in workforce development and community engagement initiatives.

  • Designed for long-term (10-15+ year) data center leasing agreements with highly rated global technology companies, leveraging TeraWulf’s experience supporting mission-critical digital infrastructure customers.

Responsible Development

  • Our data campus will use a closed-loop cooling system that minimizes overall water use and is completely independent of the community’s natural water sources.

    More information about our closed-loop cooling system can be found here.

  • The campus is designed to maintain operational sound levels below local requirements. Noise impacts at the property boundary are expected to be limited and within the range of existing ambient industrial noise levels.

  • This campus is designed to minimize long-term traffic, land disturbance, and operational noise within the established industrial park setting.

  • The campus is located within EastPark Industrial Park, zoned as M-1 (light industrial) and M-2 (medium-heavy industrial), where data center use is permitted as-of-right, allowing for phased, multi-hundred megawatt expansion over time.

    No rezoning or conversion of agricultural land is required.
