KY utility regulator OKs electricity contract for TeraWulf’s Hancock County data center project

The Kentucky Public Service Commission approved an electricity contract for TeraWulf's data center project in Hancock County, despite opposition from residents concerned about rising electricity bills, noise, air, and water pollution. The project, located at a repurposed aluminum smelter, will use an existing 482-megawatt grid connection and is expected to use less water and emit fewer pollutants than the previous plant. The PSC approval moves the project forward despite local concerns and a recent executive order from Governor Beshear setting requirements for data center operators statewide.
