    Applied Digital Brings 150 MW Online at North Dakota Polaris Forge Facility

    Question

    Applied Digital Brings 150 MW Online at North Dakota Polaris Forge Facility

    Direct answer

    Applied Digital achieved ready-for-service milestones for a 150 MW critical IT load phase at its Polaris Forge 1 facility located in North Dakota. This brings current operational capacity to 250 MW on path to an ultimate 400 MW campus design. The scaling of large-scale dedicated compute facilities continues to drive high demand for regional power generation, grid interconnection agreements, and specialized electrical equipment.
