Insights

Digital infrastructure and power markets analyst

ERCOT approval materially increases potential computing capacity at Helios.

Galaxy Digital Inc. states it has completed a Large Load Interconnection Study and obtained ERCOT approval for an additional 830 megawatts of computing demand at its Helios data center campus in West Texas. That figure refers to the power load that can be supported, which is a core constraint for large-scale computing facilities.

This kind of approval is a key step in scaling operations at energy-intensive data centers because it governs how much load can connect to the grid. The filing, however, does not quantify related capital spending, operating timelines, or revenue implications tied to this capacity.

The approval and study completion occurred on January 15, 2026, and the company provided further details in an attached press release. Future company disclosures may outline how quickly this 830-megawatt computing demand is built out and utilized at the Helios campus.
