TeraWulf plans to acquire the Morgantown Generating Station, a 216-MW power plant with four units in Morgantown, Maryland, for data center operations. The acquisition is under FERC review and has drawn formal protests from stakeholders. The project remains in early regulatory stages with no general contractor or construction partners announced. GCs, electrical subs, and MEP firms should track this FERC proceeding—approval unlocks a major power-to-data-center conversion scope in Maryland.
Natelli Holdings is proposing a data center development on 133 acres in Lusby, Maryland, coupled with a $30 million park project.
