The record, newest first

  1. Flatwater Free Press reported the full campus would draw more power than Kearney, Grand Island and Hastings combined and that city leaders did not know who the tenant would be. (Flatwater Free Press (via WOWT), Sept. 8, 2026)

  2. Before a standing-room crowd, the city council approved the permit with conditions, including voiding it if no development occurs within two years; the developers committed to 59 permanent jobs and a community benefit agreement. (Central Nebraska Today, Sept. 9, 2026)

  3. The Kearney Planning Commission unanimously recommended the conditional use permit, the first under the city's new data center rules; about 20 residents attended, several raising noise from the existing crypto site and landscaping water use. (Central Nebraska Today, Aug. 21, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Reporting names SDV and MARA as partners and owners and Worldwide Mission Critical as the owner's project representative; Flatwater described the arrangement as Marathon Digital Holdings, the bitcoin mine's operator, passing the mine's power to the new campus.
  • The existing bitcoin mine would be shut down after phase one. The city memo, as quoted, says it was first built in 2017; Flatwater reported Kearney gave land for it to Compute North in 2019, and that it later passed to Generate Capital and then to Marathon Digital Holdings, which operates it.

The full record

Status note
The Kearney City Council approved the conditional use permit Sept. 8, 2026; the developers said they planned to start construction late in 2026 and operate by March 2028.
Power note
368 MW total electrical demand at full build-out (about 2029-31), as stated in the City of Kearney memo quoted by Central Nebraska Today; the first phase reuses 100 MW of existing service from the bitcoin mine on the site. A planned load, not a measured one; the 54 on-site backup generators are not counted.
