TeraWulf Muskie Data Campus at EastPark
Also called: Muskie Data Campus
TeraWulf plans a large AI data center campus on about 285 acres in the EastPark industrial park near Ashland. It would start at 500 megawatts in 2028 and could grow to 1 or even 2 gigawatts. Kentucky Power is building a new substation for it. No tech company tenant has been named.
Where things stand: TeraWulf bought the site in May 2026. First 500 megawatts are planned for late 2028, and 500 more for late 2030.
🕒 Latest update (Aug 6, 2026): TeraWulf told investors the campus could grow to as much as 2 gigawatts.
