Core Scientific updates ERCOT power status at three Texas data center sites
Core Scientific said ERCOT has conditionally approved power allocations at its Denton, Pecos and Hunt, Texas data centers under different ERCOT pathways. Denton's existing 297 megawatts is conditionally approved as longstanding load and is not subject to the Batch Zero process, while Pecos must wait for the Batch Zero process to conclude before receiving its final allocation and load ramp. The update clarifies how much power each site can expect, but the filing gives no financial figures or timing for when the power will be fully available.
Key points
- Denton: existing 297 megawatts conditionally approved as Base Load, Pathway (a); additional 74 megawatts validated in ERCOT's 2025 Regional Transmission Plan
- Pecos: existing 300 megawatts and an additional 300 megawatts of Studied Load conditionally approved in Batch Zero; final allocation pending conclusion of Batch Zero
- Hunt: planned 431 megawatts conditionally approved under Pathway (e); company reports interconnection studies complete and construction has commenced
