Timeline

Notes

TeraWulf announced a long-term ground lease for ~183 acres at the retired Cayuga Power Plant site in Lansing, Tompkins County (August 2025). The company secured rights to develop up to 400 MW of digital infrastructure, with 138 MW targeted for 2026. Queue ID 1683 (88 MW, April 2024) and queue 1733 (162 MW, March 2025) together total 250 MW at the Milliken 115kV substation — consistent with TeraWulf's phased Cayuga buildout. The site is confirmed as AI/HPC hosting, not crypto mining. NOT currentl | NEW DISCOVERY (partial match). TeraWulf Cayuga is referenced in Epoch GPU clusters as planned but is NOT in the Epoch frontier data centers CSV, making it a genuine new facility discovery for the purposes of this exercise. The Milliken substation interconnect point is confirmed by both queue entries
