WhiteFiber NC-1 AI Data Center Campus (Madison, North Carolina)
Commissioning
United States · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
WhiteFiber's second-quarter 2026 results of 12 August 2026 report that the company advanced the phased delivery and commissioning of its NC-1 data center campus in Madison, North Carolina: initial capacity has been delivered, equipment startup and customer testing are underway, and initial billing has commenced, with full contracted run-rate billing across the 40 MW of contracted IT load expected later that month. The CEO says NC-1 moved from construction into active customer deployment. This supports the commissioning stage of the initial 40 MW phase as of the release date. Completion of the phase, full operation and any later phase are not asserted; the expected run-rate date and the potential of about 300 gross MW are forecasts. evidence

- Centroid of Rockingham County tax parcel 790600970364 at 805 Island Dr (96.55 geodesic acres, about 644 by 1,070 m), identical to the parcel point published by the same NC OneMap service. It locates the whole NC-1 campus property, the former Unifi plant, not a data hall, the commissioned capacity or the extent of works.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
NC OneMap and Rockingham County publish no positional accuracy for the parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 96-acre property about 0.6 by 1.1 km.
