Rhea-AI Filing Summary
CleanSpark, Inc. entered into a 20‑year triple‑net infrastructure lease, with two five‑year extension options, with a high‑investment‑grade global technology company at its Sandersville, Georgia campus. The tenant will lease data center infrastructure supporting 175 MW of critical IT load, with deliveries expected to begin in Q4 2027. CleanSpark states the lease is expected to generate approximately $6.6 billion of contracted revenue over the initial term and $11.6 billion if both extension options are exercised, with an expected cumulative NOI contribution margin of nearly 100% and average annual NOI contribution of approximately $330 million. Estimated landlord project costs are $10–$12 million per MW of critical IT load.
The lease is triple net, with annual escalators, and requires CleanSpark to meet financing, construction and delivery milestones and other covenants; failure to meet milestones may lead to rent abatements or termination. In connection with the lease, the tenant executed a letter of intent and exclusivity arrangement covering CleanSpark’s Texas portfolio of 718 acres with up to 885 MW of secured and planned power capacity, including the Sealy and Brazoria campuses, positioning Sandersville as the first phase of a broader relationship. CleanSpark highlights risks around raising substantial additional capital, potential significant indebtedness, reliance on third‑party development partners, and regulatory and power‑supply uncertainties.
