01Location and site context
Power at the boundary.
An existing transmission-connected substation stands at the site boundary. The Phase 1 pad is being graded and the access road is built.
02Planned infrastructure
Specifications as currently planned.
- Grid power
- 7 MW permitted utility service.
- Deployment
- Supplier-provided modular infrastructure for tenant-owned hardware.
- Cooling
- Liquid cooling for high-density AI racks.
- Design efficiency
- Target PUE of 1.15 — a design target, not achieved performance.
- Cooling water
- Designed without ongoing evaporative cooling-water consumption.
- Expansion
- Up to 21 MW total site potential, subject to further development and permitting.
Critical IT capacity and detailed specifications are discussed in a technical briefing. Power is billed on a pass-through basis.
The campus is planned around power that already exists at the site and a cooling design intended to avoid ongoing cooling-water consumption.
