A Core Scientific executive, Michael Bros, stated that the company partnered with Priority Power in June 2021 which hoped to develop and manage infrastructure to fulfill its energy needs on short notice but wasn’t successful. In response, Priority Power claims they suffered significant losses due to Core Scientific halting payments and are owed $30 million from previous work before their December 11th bankruptcy filing date.
