Core Scientific, Inc., a leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation (“HDC”), today announced a multi-tiered strategy to scale its Muskogee, Oklahoma campus to approximately 1.5 gigawatt (“GW”) of gross power, or approximately 1.0 GW of leasable power.
As part of this strategy, Core Scientific has entered into an agreement to acquire Polaris DS LLC, doing business as Polaris Technologies, which has contracted 440 megawatts (“MW”) of gross power under an energy agreement with Oklahoma Gas & Electric and is actively being utilized. The transaction, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions, is expected to be funded using existing liquidity and close in the third quarter of 2026.
Core Scientific is a leader in designing, building and operating large-scale, purpose-built data centers for high-density colocation (“HDC”) services. Core Scientific operates facilities serving artificial intelligence-related (“AI”) workloads and is a premier provider of digital infrastructure, software solutions and services to its third-party customers. The Company’s facilities are located in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The acquisition will allow the company to scale future capacity at the Muskogee campus, where construction is already underway on a second 82.5-megawatt building expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027.
In addition, Core Scientific has load studies underway to expand its grid-connected capacity, which are expected to be completed this year. The Company has also developed a plan utilizing a scalable behind-the-meter solution. To support this planned expansion, Core Scientific has secured approximately 250 acres of land.
“Our multi-tiered approach in Muskogee demonstrates how we can combine acquisitions, development expertise, and innovative power solutions to unlock gigawatt-scale capacity. As our second expansion applying this approach, we are demonstrating the scalability of our model while growing a strategically important campus to support a broad range of high-density compute deployments.” — Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer, Core Scientific.
“Core Scientific’s decision to expand its Muskogee campus to 1.5 gigawatts is a transformational milestone for our community and a powerful testament to what Port Muskogee has built here. From the groundbreaking of the first data center to this gigawatt-scale vision, we have worked hand-in-hand with Core Scientific to provide the infrastructure, land, and partnerships needed to make Muskogee a national center for AI and digital infrastructure. This investment will create generational opportunity for our workforce and our region,” notes Kimbra Scott, Executive Director of Port Muskogee.
In Muskogee, the Company’s current leased 70 MW building designed to support the Nvidia GB300 platform is progressing through final testing as well as commissioning and is on track for a second quarter 2026 delivery to its customer.
