>Governor Hochul on Odd Lots this AM discussing data centers
>Thought she sounded pretty positive / constructive, although will be more red tape to get approvals with new agencies creating a framework.
>Also sounded like while she was open to data centers and their benefits, but prefers companies like Micron coming in who are creating long term jobs (setting up school systems around the facility to teach skills needed at the site).
>Recognized benefits of data centers to communities, but wants to give those rural areas time to figure out how to vet projects and potential companies coming in
>Wants DC's to bring their own power or contribute to the grid
>Wants contributions to grid resiliency fund, that helps keep infrastructure up to date
>Setting up 7-8 agencies (!!) to help create blueprint for setting up DC's in NY
>NOT expecting a full ban on DCs, understands importance of AI
>Talked about securing Micron in NY, wants to get them power from grid and nuclear they need
>Wants more nuclear in NY
>Said she talked with data center industry leaders (Paul?) and they were fine with moratorium, just wanted to know the rules, and didn't think it would hurt or disrupt current plans

NEW ODD LOTS: After announcing her plan to pause new datacenters in the state for one year, @GovKathyHochul talked to me and @tracyalloway about the decision. We talked about why now; what’s the real goal. And NY’s overall state of b business. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/odd…

$KEEL gets city approval to consolidate 3 BTC mining sites into a single 96 MW AI/HPC campus in Sherbrooke, Québec, plus a land purchase agreement ~100 miles east of Montreal (reported~$2.2M CAD)
Details:
>No new power requested; recategorizing existing hydro allocation from BTC to AI (which matters in Québec where new data center customers now face ~13¢/kWh (vs. legacy ~6.5¢). That rate protection could be a meaningful cost moat.
>96 MW critical IT (after PUE haircut ~67-70 MW) at market colocation rates could support $150M/annual revenue, material for $KEEL (2026E revenue = $116M)
>Still needs MEIE (Quebec Ministry of Economy) sign-off, not a done deal
>Sherbrooke was NOT in KEEL's stated 2026 lease priority (that's Panther Creek, Sharon, Moses Lake) so this is incremental pipeline optionality
>Land closes Q1 2027 subject to inspections/municipal approvals

$CLSK +9% this morning leading all miners.
In our view yesterday's $6B+ lease announcement significantly de-risks the equity and could be worth $10+ per share - without any expansion or success on TX lease!
I didn't post about it yesterday because I wanted to buy more shares.

@matthew_sigel Is there a reason you haven’t posted an analysis on the CleanSpark deal today? You’ve typically given some level of context to all other announcements. Seems atypical…
