Underlying source
Source notes
1 GW site near Robstown, Nueces County; Phase 1 = a 15-year, 352 MW IT lease. The $9.8B base-term contract value is revenue, not capex. Delivery targeted Q3 2027. Coordinates are the Robstown area centroid. Hut 8 declined to confirm any tax abatement and the Nueces County Judge said the county's abatement policy was out of date, so none could have been granted; no subsidy is recorded. The investment figure records the $4.25B non-recourse project-bond financing for Phase 1 construction (352 MW + substation), distinct from the $9.8B lease contract value; the ~$17B combined Phase 1-2 figure is a projection.
1,000 MW interconnection agreement with AEP Texas; energization expected Q1 2027. Hut 8 is funding an on-site substation via the $4.25B project bond; no on-site generation disclosed.
