Core Scientific received conditional ERCOT approval for 431 Megawatts of planned power at its Hunt, Texas data center, while Pecos gained conditional approval for an additional 300 Megawatts. Pecos’s final allocation and load ramp remain pending until the Batch Zero process concludes, while Denton’s power is outside that process.

Key Highlights

  • Denton’s additional 74 Megawatts was included in ERCOT’s 2025 Regional Transmission Plan study cases and is outside Batch Zero.
  • Pecos has conditional approval for 300 Megawatts of existing power and another 300 Megawatts classified as Studied Load.
  • Hunt has completed required interconnection studies, posted financial collateral, ordered long-lead equipment and begun construction.

Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ) has 431 Megawatts of planned electrical power at its Hunt, Texas Data Center conditionally approved through ERCOT’s Batch Zero process.

Texas Sites Receive Different ERCOT Classifications

Denton’s existing 297 Megawatts was conditionally approved as Base Load, Pathway (a), covering longstanding existing load energized before March 25, 2022. That power is outside the Batch Zero allocation process. Denton also has an additional 74 Megawatts of power planned for energization, which ERCOT previously included and validated in its 2025 Regional Transmission Plan study cases. Core Scientific submitted the required documentation and paid the required posted collateral.

Pecos Allocation Remains Pending

Pecos will not receive its final allocation and load ramp until the Batch Zero process concludes. Core Scientific and its Utility partner completed the required interconnection studies and received ERCOT approval for the site’s 431 Megawatt stability study. The parties also posted the required financial collateral, ordered long-lead equipment and commenced construction. The company said it satisfied the applicable Pathway (e) documentation requirements.
