Deliveries are expected to begin in Q4 2027. The tenant was not named, but Cleanspark described it as a leading global technology company with a high investment-grade profile.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/cleanspark-secures-twenty-year-lease-with-high-investment-grade-global-technology-company-for-data-center-in-sandersville-georgia-302824483.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreement<\/a> includes two five-year extension options. If both are exercised, total expected contract value could rise to $11.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Cleanspark said the lease is expected to deliver an average annual net operating income contribution of about $330 million. Estimated landlord project costs are expected to range from $10 million to $12 million per megawatt of critical IT load.<\/p>\n<h2>Sandersville Becomes Cleanspark\u2019s AI Anchor<\/h2>\n<p>The Sandersville campus was selected for its reliable, low-cost power, available capacity, and ability to support phased deployment of high-density compute infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Schultz, Cleanspark\u2019s Chairman and CEO, called the lease a transformational moment for the company. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">A 20-year commitment from a high-investment-grade global technology company with a market-leading commercial profile is a tremendous validation of our land-and-power strategy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The tenant will deploy production-grade infrastructure at the site for a range of computing workloads. While the company remains confidential, its credit profile is expected to support Cleanspark\u2019s financing options and the long-term structure of the lease.<\/p>\n<p>Sandersville Mayor Jimmy Andrews said Cleanspark has supported local jobs, tax revenue, and community development, adding that the city plans to support the new infrastructure project.<\/p>\n<h2>Texas Portfolio Moves Under Exclusivity<\/h2>\n<p>The lease also comes with a broader strategic option. The same tenant has signed a letter of intent and an exclusivity arrangement covering Cleanspark\u2019s entire Texas portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>That portfolio spans 718 acres and includes up to 885 MW of secured and planned power capacity. It includes Cleanspark\u2019s Sealy campus, with 271 acres and nearly 300 MW, and its Brazoria campus, with 447 acres and transmission-level infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The deal places Cleanspark among a growing group of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> miners converting power-heavy sites into AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.
