What the source record says
Adjacent to the 2.5GW Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. FERC blocked a proposed colocation agreement in April 2025, leading to the PPA structure instead. TeraWulf operates a separate Nautilus cryptomining facility (Nautilus) on the same property not included in this record.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
