Position

The scale site in the portfolio. Land under control, a dated behind the meter gas build that carries the ramp, and firm grid arriving underneath it. A mobile fleet carries the anchor ahead of the permanent plant, so MicroLink can switch on a small anchor early and hand Anthropic a credible ramp to on one campus. Waste heat is a value add to partners on site.

Power and energization

A phased behind the meter gas build carries the ramp, with firm grid arriving underneath it in Q4 2028. A temporary mobile fleet carries the anchor ahead of the permanent plant, so revenue begins before the campus completes.

Rent commences per phase on delivery of the applicable premises. Path to structured as a right of first offer on adjacent capacity. P2 is an intermediate step and does not appear as a cover milestone. P2 is 190 MW gas plus mobile. P3 is 450 MW gas plus 50 MW mobile. Firm grid lands Q4 2028 and the mobile fleet retires against it. P4 is 300 MW grid plus 450 MW gas.

Apollo's commitment is contingent on a locked site and a locked customer, so the Anthropic offtake and this campus together are the trigger.

Risks and caveats

LiveEntitlement and community. Zoning, annexation and the development agreement are closing conditions, and the local political context is the primary timeline risk.
LiveOption clock. The purchase options carry a near term expiry and a financial capacity showing on exercise.
OpenCredit wrap form. Whether the NVIDIA guarantee sits on the rent or as a residual value wrap on the assets is being confirmed.
OpenLead time. The gas lateral, the full source air permit and the long lead equipment order sit on the critical path and gate the permanent ramp.
