Rationale — Why Behind-the-Meter
Years
Typical wait in a regional interconnection queue for new grid capacity of this scale, the constraint Black Oak builds around, not into.
Owned
Generation and campus held by the same developer, so power availability is never a third party's schedule risk.
Dedicated
A private circuit from wellhead to rack, capacity that isn't shared, curtailed, or re-allocated by a utility.
NO QUEUE. NO SHARED CAPACITY.
NO THIRD-PARTY POWER DEPENDENCY.
Power designed around the campus, not the grid.
