Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Public Money

Nscale's current Monarch page reports more than $20 billion in planned capital investment and $80 million-plus in annual West Virginia tax revenue, including a projected $40 million for Mason County schools. These are company-stated plans/projections, not completed spending, public subsidy, or verified receipts; the source dataset's $5 billion project-cost lead remains historical context.

Water

Nscale's current Monarch page describes closed-loop cooling and says no municipal drinking water is used for operations. This is a company operating-design claim; the reviewed public material does not establish a water withdrawal, discharge, permit quantity, or measured consumption.

Power

Nscale's March 16, 2026 release describes an onsite microgrid with 2 GW expected online in the first half of 2028 and expansion to approximately 8 GW planned for 2031. Its Monarch page separately describes 1.35 GW of Phase 1 AI computing capacity. These are company-stated planned generation/power and compute-capacity contexts, not energized capacity or an independently verified IT-load measurement; the dataset's 2,000-8,000 MW remains unclassified.
