PowerCompute expands capacity to 11 MW in Columbus, Mississippi data center

PowerCompute Inc. A filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 6, 2026, disclosed that the company has signed a new agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to increase contract power for its data center in Columbus, Mississippi from 8.5 MW to 11 MW. The agreement was implemented on September 30 and officially came into effect on October 1.

As a Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin miner, PowerCompute said the expansion allowed the company to circumvent a capacity commitment fee of approximately $9 million. According to the new TVA data center tariff classification, a fee of approximately US$1.5 million per megawatt is payable for the portion of the contract load that exceeds the first 5 megawatts. Through this adjustment, the Columbus Power and Water Department also refunded a $300,000 deposit, freeing up additional operating capital for the company.

Bruce Rodgers, CEO of PowerCompute, pointed out: "Today's Columbus has become a better mining site. This means the site already qualifies for the tariff classification required for any high-performance computing (HPC) facility under TVA power." He emphasized that the site is ready to support high-performance computing loads in addition to existing Bitcoin mining operations.

首席财务官理查德·罗素(Richard Russell)补充称,公司在“未向公用事业公司进行任何资本投入且无需支付容量承诺费”的情况下,增加了 2.5 兆瓦的合同电力。他将此次扩张形容为一种低成本的增长方式,能够在不稀释股东权益或承担新债务的前提下扩大运营能力。

随着哥伦布站点的扩容,结合其位于俄克拉荷马州卡卢梅特 15 兆瓦的站点,PowerCompute 目前的总运营容量达到 26 兆瓦。公司目前在运营中安装了 2,373 台 Antminer 设备,比特币挖矿算力约为每秒 205 拍哈希(PH/s)。新的哥伦布合同有效期至 2030 年 9 月 16 日,为公司扩展后的电力分配提供了多年的稳定期。

今年,随着全美各地公用事业公司为大型数据中心和高性能计算负载推出专门的费率类别,多家公开交易的比特币矿工纷纷宣布获得了有利的电力关税。PowerCompute 将哥伦布站点定位为已具备更广泛 HPC 使用所需分类的设施,这表明该公司视其挖矿基础设施为切入人工智能相关计算需求的潜在桥梁。
