Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Core Scientific, Inc. (the “Company”) is providing the following update with respect to electrical power status of each of its existing and proposed data centers located in Texas.
Denton, Texas: The site’s existing 297 Megawatts of electrical power has been conditionally approved by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) as “Base Load, Pathway (a)” (“longstanding existing load”) based on its status as load energized prior to March 25, 2022 and is not subject to Batch Zero allocation process. The Site’s additional 74 Megawatts of electrical power to be energized was previously incorporated in and validated by ERCOT’s 2025 Regional Transmission Plan (RTP) study cases and is not subject to the Batch Zero process.
Pecos, Texas: The existing 300 Megawatts of electrical power has been conditionally approved in Batch Zero as “Base Load, Pathway (b)” (“existing load energized after March 25, 2022 and before July 10, 2026”). An additional 300 Megawatts has been conditionally approved in Batch Zero as “Studied Load.” All required documentation has been submitted and required posted collateral has been paid. We will not receive the final allocation and load ramp until the conclusion of the Batch Zero process.
Hunt, Texas: The site's planned 431 Megawatts of electrical power has been conditionally approved in Batch Zero as “Base Load, Advancing Large Load, Pathway (e)” (“demonstrated maturity and advancement through the interconnection process”). The Company and its utility partner have completed the required interconnection studies, received ERCOT approval of its 431 Megawatt stability study, posted the required financial collateral, has ordered long-lead equipment, commenced construction, and otherwise satisfied the applicable Pathway (e) documentation requirements.
