HPC and cryptomine data center developer Hut 8 this week announced plans to develop four new sites across the United States, totaling 1.53GW of capacity under development. The expansion sites range in scale from 50MW to 1GW of utility capacity across Louisiana, Texas, and Illinois. Hut 8 said it expects its platform to exceed 2.5GW of capacity under management across 19 sites.
“This expansion marks a defining step in Hut 8’s evolution into one of the largest energy and digital infrastructure platforms in the world,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “By advancing more than 1.5GW of capacity from exclusivity into development, we position ourselves to more than double the scale of our platform and address accelerating demand across energy-intensive use cases.”
Genoot added: “In addition to driving scale, this expansion is designed to broaden our geographic footprint as we seek to capture opportunities in markets where we see energy demand rising most rapidly. Importantly, it represents just the first phase of execution against a multi-gigawatt energy origination pipeline that underpins our long-term growth trajectory.”
