The ERCOT approvals remove a key regulatory overhang for Core Scientific's Texas expansion. Monitor the conclusion of the Batch Zero process for final load ramp timelines at Pecos and Hunt. The stock has historically underperformed at T+20 on prior reports (avg -8.05%), so near-term upside may be limited despite this positive catalyst.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Core Scientific disclosed ERCOT conditional approval for electrical power at its Texas data centers: Denton (297 MW existing + 74 MW expansion), Pecos (300 MW existing + 300 MW studied load), and Hunt (431 MW planned). All three sites have cleared key interconnection milestones with collateral posted and studies completed. This regulatory progress de-risks the company's expansion roadmap and supports its HPC/AI hosting capacity growth, though final allocations for Pecos and Hunt await the conclusion of the Batch Zero process.
Key Facts
- Denton site: 297 MW existing power conditionally approved as Base Load Pathway (a), not subject to Batch Zero; additional 74 MW validated in ERCOT's 2025 RTP.
- Pecos site: 300 MW existing power conditionally approved as Base Load Pathway (b); additional 300 MW conditionally approved as Studied Load in Batch Zero; collateral paid.
- Hunt site: 431 MW planned power conditionally approved as Base Load Advancing Large Load Pathway (e); interconnection studies complete, stability study approved, collateral posted, construction commenced.
- Final allocation and load ramp for Pecos and Hunt pending conclusion of ERCOT's Batch Zero process.
Financial Impact
De-risks up to 1,402 MW of total potential capacity across three Texas sites, supporting future revenue growth from HPC/AI hosting; no dollar amounts disclosed.
Risk Factors
- Final allocation and load ramp for Pecos and Hunt depend on the conclusion of ERCOT's Batch Zero process, which could face delays or adverse outcomes.
- Historical performance shows CORZ reports have averaged -8.05% at T+20, suggesting the market may already price in such regulatory progress.
