Why it matters

The strategic read

Adds another public miner-to-AI infrastructure expansion where the scarce asset is not GPUs but controllable land, transmission access and utility-scale power delivery. TeraWulf is turning Kentucky into a second major campus market beside Lake Mariner and Justified Data, with Kentucky Power building a 345 kV substation tied into a 765 kV network.
