Carbon: power-plant construction reported complete
Athill’s April 28, 2026 AUC notice reports construction complete for the 5.545 MW second phase. The 4.425 MW first phase was previously reported commissioned on October 30, 2025, within the original 9.97 MW design.
Why it matters: The notice confirms Athill’s construction-completion report, but does not establish Phase 2 commissioning or current mining operation. The listing also adds the County’s original 2.23-acre Bitcoin-mining plan and container layout.
