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
- Under construction
WhiteFiber (Bit Digital's AI unit) acquired a ~1M sq ft NC industrial property for an AI/HPC campus; Nscale signed a 10-year, 40 MW anchor colocation (~$865M TCV)
Underlying source - Operational
WhiteFiber's Q2 2026 results report that NC-1 has moved from construction into customer deployment: initial capacity has been delivered, equipment startup and customer testing are underway, initial billing has commenced, and full contracted run-rate billing across the 40 MW of contracted IT load was expected during August 2026.
Underlying source
Source notes
Operator is WhiteFiber (Bit Digital's AI unit); Nscale is the 40 MW anchor tenant (10-year, ~$865M total contract value = revenue, not capex). ~1M sq ft, up to 150 kW/cabinet, 99 MW secured from Duke Energy, 200 MW eventual site potential (planned figure). As of October 2026, no operational IT capacity is recorded: WhiteFiber's NC-1 page (last updated May 2026) cites 24MW of power expected online in Q4 2025, a power-supply figure rather than IT capacity, and its second-quarter 2026 results state 40 megawatts of contracted IT load and that initial capacity has been delivered, but give no figure for IT capacity in operation. $150M WhiteFiber equity. Madison is in Rockingham County, NC. Coordinates are the Madison town centroid. Property acquired for $45M (2025, from Unifi); the total buildout described as 'over $1B' is conditional on reaching 200 MW -> no investment figure is recorded. WFDD (June 2025) reports that the planned investment of more than $1 billion is "estimated to generate some 60 jobs with an average salary of $67,000". Cooling type not publicly disclosed -> no water details are recorded.
99 MW power agreement with Duke Energy (24 MW targeted for delivery ~Sept 1, 2025), scalable to 200 MW over time.
