CoreWeave and Core Scientific this week announced ground had been broken on a 100MW facility in the Port of Muskogee in West Oklahoma. The facility will provide approximately 70MW of critical IT load, with the remaining 30MW powering ancillary systems required to ensure optimal GPU performance.
“Today we celebrate the beginning of a project that highlights Muskogee’s role as a center of next-generation, AI computing,” said Adam Sullivan, Core Scientific CEO. “This cutting-edge project was made possible thanks to the foresight demonstrated by Port Muskogee’s team, Mayor Patrick Cale, and the state of Oklahoma. Their support and determination make Muskogee a focal point for one of the most important and dynamic technology developments in modern times, creating an economic and job creation engine for the region. We look forward to serving as a contributing member of the local community for years to come.”
"Port Muskogee is proud to welcome Core Scientific and CoreWeave to our community, a partnership poised to significantly impact Muskogee’s economic future," said Port Muskogee’s executive drector, Kimbra Scott. "This facility is more than a data center; it’s a commitment to economic progress, bringing more than $4 billion in capital investment and $182 million in local net benefits over the life of the project. We are excited to be part of Muskogee’s transformation into a hub for high-performance AI and technology."
