Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

  1. Proposed

    TeraWulf announced acquisition of Morgantown Generating Station (250 buildable acres, ~210 MW current operational capacity) from existing owner. Acquisition pending FERC approval and third-party consents (expected Q2 or Q3 2026 closing). Zoning text amendment (ZTA) required. TeraWulf shifting from Bitcoin mining to AI/HPC data centers.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Morgantown Generating Station is on the Potomac River near the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, Charles County MD. Acquisition funding and TeraWulf financial stability questioned by Maryland Office of People's Counsel (net losses $660M+ in 2025, 90% revenue from Bitcoin mining). Coordinates approximate. TeraWulf sought about $100M in Maryland state funds toward the Morgantown acquisition; the purchase price is withheld from FERC as confidential (FOIA Exemption 4), which Public Citizen is petitioning to disclose. No cooling design, water-withdrawal figure, confirmed subsidy, or job count has been publicly disclosed for the proposed AI campus. As of 2026-09-10 the overall status remains proposed. Material development after 2026-07-23: FERC ruled 2026-07-29 that the ownership transfer of Morgantown Generating Station to TeraWulf is consistent with the public interest, but the order explicitly does not authorize data-center construction, new/repowered generation, or interconnection changes -- so the status remains proposed. Purchase price was kept confidential by FERC order (no investment figure obtainable). No water, cooling or jobs figures were found.

Former coal-fired plant (closed 2022) on PJM grid near Potomac River. TeraWulf plans 500 MW initial generation expansion; ultimate target 1 GW of on-site power to support 1 GW data center load while remaining net-positive energy supplier.
