The record, newest first

  1. Construction was reported under way on a first building valued at about $399 million, with completion estimated for November 2027. (BIC Magazine, Oct. 16, 2026)

  2. Because its AEP Texas interconnection was already secured, the campus fell outside the review of new large loads that the governor ordered on Aug. 3. (Corpus Christi Caller-Times (via The Lufkin Daily News), Aug. 11, 2026)

  3. Hut 8 reported a second 352 MW, 15-year lease with the same tenant, bringing contracted IT capacity to 704 MW and base-term contract value to $19.6 billion; it said construction had begun and first energization remained planned for the first quarter of 2027. (Hut 8 Corp. (SEC Form 8-K), July 20, 2026)

  4. Local reporting said the site, just outside Robstown, needed no city or county approval, that Hut 8 had secured about $4.25 billion in bond financing, and that the county judge said the county's outdated abatement policy ruled out a tax break. (KRIS 6 News, June 8, 2026)

  5. Hut 8 signed a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease with an undisclosed tenant for the first 352 MW phase of the 525-acre campus. (KRIS 6 News, May 7, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • A local environmental group raised concerns about the site's proximity to a power station and a water treatment plant, and about noise and light.
  • The 704 MW figure is IT capacity under the two leases; the 1,000 MW figure is grid capacity.
