Core Scientific

Offtaker Data centers AI Colocation Data centers HPC

Operates high-density colocation data centers across ten-plus US sites with more than 1,300 MW of contracted power, converting former mining capacity to AI workloads.

Core Scientific's asset base is contracted power and energized shells in low-cost markets across Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Alabama and North Carolina. Its AI pivot is anchored by long-term high-performance-computing hosting contracts with GPU cloud tenants, most prominently CoreWeave, which underwrite multi-hundred-megawatt retrofits of existing mining infrastructure. The relevance to power markets is scale: it is one of the largest single flexible industrial loads in several US balancing authorities.
