Project overview

About TeraWulf

TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ: WULF) develops and operates sustainably powered, high-performance data centers designed for the next generation of digital infrastructure.

With deep expertise in energy infrastructure, we deliver efficient, modular, and future-ready computing solutions that align technological advancement with environmental responsibility. Our mission is to lead the convergence of energy and technology through transparent, sustainable, and forward-looking operations.

About the Site

Chesapeake Data represents the transformation of a retired coal-fired power plant into a next-generation, multi-phase AI and high-performance computing campus designed to anchor Maryland’s clean, reliable, and competitive digital economy.

Engineered for mission-critical, high-density workloads, the campus leverages existing transmission infrastructure and optional gas firming to provide resilient, dispatchable power. This adaptive reuse strategy shortens development timelines and reduces environmental impact — showing how historic industrial sites can be thoughtfully repurposed to serve today’s technology-driven economy.

Project Highlights

  • The project supports local jobs and apprenticeships, partners with community colleges for workforce training, and strengthens regional infrastructure through fiber, road, and pier improvements.

  • A substantial number of construction jobs are expected at peak buildout, along with meaningful long-term, high-quality technology and operations roles supported by apprenticeship and training pathways.

  • Designed for long-term (10+ year) hosting agreements with highly rated global technology companies, leveraging TeraWulf’s experience supporting mission-critical digital infrastructure customers.

  • The first phase of the project is planned to deliver a large-scale data center supported by on-site energy resources, including flexible natural gas generation and battery storage.

    This phased approach allows infrastructure to be built responsibly over time, ensuring reliability, grid support, and community alignment as the project moves forward.

Responsible Development

  • By redeveloping an existing industrial site and committing to transparent environmental oversight, this project delivers responsible growth while minimizing impacts on surrounding land and communities.

  • Incorporates LED lighting, energy efficient building materials, and demand-response capabilities with opportunities to integrate on-site solar and battery storage.

  • The project will coordinate fiber upgrades and enhance road and pier logistics by leveraging existing barge access, helping reduce traffic impacts while strengthening regional connectivity.

  • Operational noise is expected to remain below local limits and inaudible at the property line. Buildings will be low-profile, existing stacks will be removed to improve site appearance, and lighting will be designed to minimize off-site impact.
