Time to Power
When is capacity expected?
5 dated targets · 5 without a first-capacity window
0 elapsed targets await delivery evidence
Delivery confirmation is still needed for these records. An elapsed target alone does not establish a delay.
Actual time to power: not established
Company targets describe expected availability. Measured time to power requires a dated start and site-level energization evidence.
Reported delivery
SpaceX / Anthropic · MW undisclosed · compute capacity ramped during may and june
SpaceX's prospectus describes Anthropic service agreements across Colossus 1 and 2, with approximately 325,000 GPUs and fees ramping during May and June. It does not allocate delivered capacity to Colossus 1, state delivered MW, or give an energization date. This is partial ramp evidence, not confirmation that all Colossus 1 capacity was delivered.

How to read these dates and figures
Dates are the original announced windows. A vague year keeps a full-year range; construction completion and equipment release dates are excluded. 4 announcements disclose no MW allocation. 0 quantified records are excluded from capacity comparisons because their scope is not comparable or overlaps. Export the CSV for the source, quantity terms, and inclusion basis of each agreement.

| Sep 18, 2026 | Anthropic Nscale Cloud compute | Up to $44.6B · up to six years | About 460 MW Reported compute capacity allocation; source does not specify IT-load versus facility-power basis and does not confirm energization | Mason County, West Virginia, US Late 2027 reported target; not verified delivery or energization 11–15 months to target | Agreement signedDeal detailsNscale's September 18 Form S-1 says four Anthropic Services Agreements signed August 25, 2026 provide for aggregate payments of up to approximately US$44.6 billion. CNBC reported that the six-year agreements cover about 460 MW of compute capacity at Monarch and that the campus was expected to come online at the end of 2027. The 460 MW and timing are reported terms, not utility measurements; the filing does not specify whether the MW figure is IT load or total facility power. Do not treat the capacity as energized or delivered. The agreement value is full-term service spend, not annual revenue or infrastructure capital expenditure.

| Jul 6, 2026 | Anthropic TeraWulf Cloud compute | Undisclosed | 401 MW Approximately 401 MW of critical IT load under a 20-year lease | Hawesville, Kentucky, US Initial phases expected in the second half of 2027; full 401 MW expected in early 2028 8–15 months to target | Agreement signedDeal detailsTeraWulf's subsidiary entered a 20-year lease with Anthropic for approximately 401 MW of critical IT load at the Justified Data Campus. Initial leased premises are expected in phases during the second half of 2027; full delivery is expected in early 2028. The lease has two five-year renewal options. TeraWulf states approximately $19 billion of contracted lease revenue over the initial term. That service revenue is not a compute-purchase value or infrastructure investment and is excluded from contract-value analytics. The August 5 filing says the lease had not commenced as of the filing date. This is a customer IT-load allocation, not the campus's gross power availability or proof of energized capacity.

| May 6, 2026 | Anthropic SpaceX Cloud compute | Up to $120.5B · Through 2029 (cancellable after initial terms) | 300+ MW Colossus 1 compute | Location undisclosed Initial capacity ramped in May–June 2026; all contracted capacity was expected by December 2026 Delivery reported | Agreement signedDeal detailsThe May 6 announcement covers more than 300 MW at Colossus 1. SpaceX’s June 5 prospectus describes Anthropic service agreements across Colossus 1 and 2, approximately 325,000 GPUs, and a $1.25B monthly fee at that time. Anthropic’s October 26 Form S-1 reports that agreements entered into or amended between May and October provide for up to $120.5B through 2029, with fees of about $3.1B per month after all capacity is delivered, which Anthropic expected in December 2026. The separate agreements have initial non-cancelable periods ending in January and March 2027, after which either party may cancel with 90 days’ notice. The upper-limit spend is not a guaranteed contract value. The filing does not add a new MW allocation or give an energization date. Orbital compute remains an expression of interest.
