    Applied Digital completes 150 MW IT load in North Dakota, bringing site to 250 MW

    Question

    Applied Digital completes 150 MW IT load in North Dakota, bringing site to 250 MW

    Direct answer

    Applied Digital completed the energization of 150 MW of critical IT load at its Polaris Forge 1 facility in North Dakota. The milestone advances total operational capacity to 250 MW toward an ultimate 400 MW site target. Execution on high-density AI data center infrastructure remains a primary constraint for compute deployment. Delivery of energization on schedule provides proof of site conversion amid tight national transformer and power availability.
