CoreWeave Ellendale ND
Running (some may still be expanding)
CoreWeave Ellendale ND is an AI data center in Ellendale, North Dakota, developed or operated by CoreWeave for OpenAI. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 68 MW today, against 400 MW planned.
U.S. average: 18.2¢ (+3.4%).
Statewide context, not this project’s effect: prices move for many reasons. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Satellite figures are Epoch AI estimates from imagery of buildings, cooling and power equipment; about 80% fall within a factor of 1.4 of the true value.
- Jun 1, 2027ScheduledSatellite analysis by Epoch AI · 400 MW planned
According to schedule, Building 3 should come online in the first half of 2027. That would bring the full PF1 campus to 400 MW, according to the contract.
- Dec 31, 2026ScheduledSatellite analysis by Epoch AI · 88 MW planned
According to the schedule, Building 2 should be online sometime in the second half of 2026. We can estimate the end of 2026 for 250 MW operational.
- Jun 30, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 68 MW in use
According to satellite imagery, Building 2 is fully roofed and shell complete, with rooftop chillers mostly installed. Building 3 construction is well underway, with about 1/4 of the roofing done and the foundation laid out.
- Mar 27, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 68 MW in use
According to satellite imagery, Building 1 looks complete and in service, with the surrounding power/cooling equipment also operational. (Note: this image doesn't provide a view of buildings 2 or 3, though it's very safe to assume they're under construction at this stage, considering they're still under construction in the satellite image 3 months from now.)
- Nov 24, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 68 MW in use
This Applied Digital report says the rest of Building 1 has reached Ready for Service, bringing the first building to its expected 100 MW. We can treat this as the first completed data center building.
- Oct 27, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 50 MW in use
The first 50 MW slice of Building 1 has reached Ready for Service status according to this report. This is the first point where we would count any CoreWeave capacity as operational.
- Aug 29, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
A new 150 MW lease brings CoreWeave to 400 MW total contracted. The project is now clearly scheduled to be a three-building CoreWeave campus.
- May 28, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
CoreWeave signed the first lease package for 250 MW. No buildings online yet. This is according to an SEC 8-k filing from this date.
- Oct 31, 2023Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
Start of construction for the first building, according to Applied Digital. CoreWeave was not leased yet at this site, but this is the construction start date we're using for relevance.
No hearings, court cases, approvals or disputes are on record for this project yet.
