Grand Forks is the only North Dakota entry in Core Scientific's portfolio of ten data centres across seven states, and one of its densest: 100 MW on 20 acres and 90,000 sq ft at 5601 11th Avenue South. Nodak Electric Cooperative is the serving utility, named against the site's 100 MW in the company's Form 10-K for FY2025 filed on 2 March 2026, with wholesale power from Minnkota Power Cooperative - a lignite-heavy mix drawn from the Milton R. Young Station, with wind and Garrison Dam hydro behind it, and a rate structure that rewards loads above 20 MW. The site was commissioned in November 2021 and reached full operating capacity in March 2022, and the 10-K still classifies its use as digital asset self-mining, even though Core Scientific has said it intends to convert every megawatt it holds to high-density colocation within three years. The company filed for Chapter 11 on 21 December 2022 and emerged on 23 January 2024, relisting on Nasdaq as CORZ. CoreWeave's roughly $9 billion all-stock bid was voted down by Core Scientific stockholders on 30 October 2025 and the merger agreement terminated the same day, so the operator here is Core Scientific, independent.
