TeraWulf Cayuga Lake High Performance Computing Data Center Campus, in order

What happened with this project, oldest first: the stages it reached, what the county and its cities decided, and every dated step on the record. Each entry links its source.

1 event, August 4, 2026. Also on the record, under the month each belongs to: 2 figures from other sources and 1 line that is not an event of its own. The facts, newest first: the record; the place: New York.

A plain date is the day it happened, as the source states it, or as the line's own sentence states it ("voted on July 6"), which is where the line sits even when it was filed later. "Reported" and a date is the day a source published a line that carries no date of its own. Those lines, and lines that describe rather than report an act, sit under their month rather than on the timeline, with what was said and the figures other sources gave. Every timeline on the site reads its lines by this one rule. How dates are read.

Stages

  1. proposed

Now: being built. A stage is the record's status after the entry that set it (the definitions).

  1. (content date)

    proposed

    TeraWulf proposes to convert an abandoned coal fired power plant near Cayuga Lake in Lansing into a 300 MW data center, facing lawsuits over environmental concerns. [1]

  2. Also in September 2026: 2 figures from other sources and 1 line that is not an event of its own

      Figure · Ars Technica

      200 MW: TeraWulf owns and operates Lake Mariner; Fluidstack will run the center and has contracted for more than 200 megawatts, later expanded to 360 megawatts Ars Technica (opens in a new tab) national outlet

      Figure · Ars Technica

      35 to 40 jobs: TeraWulf's 2024 project manager stated full buildout would bring 35 to 40 permanent jobs at a facility drawing up to 500 megawatts Ars Technica (opens in a new tab) national outlet

    3. (source date; the content gives no date of its own)

      Decision · Dryden (city)

      The town of Dryden in Tompkins County adopted zoning changes banning data centers and cryptocurrency mines over concerns about their energy use yahoo.com (opens in a new tab)

On the timeline: a stage change; an entry that reports an act on the day the source or its own sentence gives; and a decision, a published scorecard event on a row at or under the record's county, that reports an act. Under the months: a statement that names this record, a figure another source gave about it, matched by place and developer, an entry dated only by the day its source was published, and an entry or a decision that describes rather than reports an act. Each is on the record in its own right and keeps its own link.
