What changes the reading

  • The utility case calls the computing project Silver Basin Load. The filing links the exact registry owner and operator to that project even though it does not use the registry facility name.[1][2][3]
  • The solar plant is existing generation beside a planned load. Shared metering would not make solar a continuous or exclusive power source for the data center.[2]
  • A pending utility application does not establish that the data center is built, energized or operating.[2][4]
  • The registry names American Bitcoin as occupant, while the utility testimony describes Hut Eight personnel operating the Silver Basin project. The public records do not explain that division of work.[1][3]

Still not public

  • A street address and site acreage are not public.
  • Construction status and an opening date are not established.
  • Cooling design and expected water use are not public.
  • Backup generation and battery plans are not public.
  • The working relationship between the registry occupant and operator is not explained.
