Firmus Megawatts Remain Contracted

TL;DR

Reuters filed Firmus signing OpenAI into Malaysian capacity Tuesday, taking contracted megawatts above 900. Contracted is not generation.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed the deal. Wednesday still has no flowing-megawatt print.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a recap as turbines already spinning.

Nvidia-backed Firmus signed OpenAI as an anchor customer for Malaysian data-centre capacity, taking contracted megawatts above 900. [1] Reuters filed the Tuesday deal. [1] Wednesday still has no generation print. Contracted is not flowing. Print contracted. Do not print turbines.

Five of seven sites under development are not live plants. Leave a named generation print to the edition that owns a named generation print. An OpenAI wiki framework on another page is not this offtake. A contracted megawatt is a paper claim. A paper claim is not a turbine. Wednesday does not reprint Tuesday's signing as a second plant. Print contracted, not generation. Leave a named turbine table to a later edition.

Print contracted. Wednesday is not a second plant.

Contracted capacity announcements cluster in AI boom years; generation follows years later or not at all. Wednesday's plant exists in a filing. Filings are cheap; electrons are not.

Cheap filings and dear electrons: Wednesday's energy page prices both. The filing is filed. The electrons are pending.

Pending electrons stay pending; Wednesday's plant exists in a filing. Generation follows years later or not at all. Cheap paper, dear power.

Nine hundred contracted megawatts still sit on a Reuters Tuesday page. Wednesday's energy desk will not mint a turbine from that offtake. OpenAI as an anchor customer is a signature, not a switchyard. Paper megawatts do not spin turbines in Malaysia today.

Paper does not spin in Malaysia today. Wednesday will not mint a turbine. Wednesday's Firmus file is still paper watts.
