Key Takeaways
- Soluna energized the final 14 MW at Project Kati 1, reaching the site's full 83 MW capacity.
- ERCOT conditionally classified the entire 166 MW Kati campus as a base load position.
Soluna (NASDAQ: SLNH) Holdings completed its 83-megawatt Kati 1 bitcoin-hosting facility in Texas and received conditional grid classification for the broader campus, including a planned artificial intelligence expansion.
The final 14 MW energized at the Willacy County site lifted companywide operating capacity to about 206 MW, Soluna said in a Sept. 8 statement. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas conditionally classified the full 166 MW campus as Base Load under its Batch Zero interconnection process.
The designation preserves interconnection capacity based on prior studies and exempts it from further reliability evaluation or megawatt allocation within Batch Zero, according to Soluna.
ERCOT issued provisional classifications to utilities on Sept. 3. Its notice said projects could be disqualified if they fail applicable conditions, including verification, correction of technical-model deficiencies or securing regulatory exceptions. The notice underscores that conditional inclusion remains subject to further checks.
