AI Power & Site Readiness
Company: xAI
Site / campus: Colossus (Memphis / Southaven)Phase: Phase 1
Verdict
This site scores very high on the composite, driven by already-in-service schedule signals and strong deliverable capacity signals, but emissions intensity is above the peer cohort median. Renewable content is shown as a state grid‑mix proxy. The final score is a weighted blend of schedule, deliverability, cost, carbon, and reliability views.

Top drivers (why)
- 1Power deliverability strengthDeliverable capacity by target is above the peer cohort top quartile, supporting strong capacity positioning.
- 2Schedule outlook (time-to-power)In-service hit probability is 1.0 and expected slippage is 0 days (already in service). Target online window is treated as a proxy milestone; interpret this as an “expected slippage only” posture anchored on realized operations.
- 3Carbon intensity headwindExpected emissions intensity is worse than the peer cohort median, and renewable content (grid‑mix proxy) is below the median; contracted renewables posture is not yet captured.
