    Applied Digital Energizes 150 MW IT Load at Polaris Forge 1 Facility

    Question

    Applied Digital Energizes 150 MW IT Load at Polaris Forge 1 Facility

    Direct answer

    Applied Digital confirmed that its Polaris Forge 1 data center in North Dakota achieved ready-for-service status for the second phase of building two, delivering 150 megawatts of critical IT load. The announcement lifted the stock by 5% in the prior session. The completion brings total active operating capacity at the facility to 250 megawatts, with engineering plans targeting 400 megawatts at full buildout. Energized high-density capacity remains a primary constraint for AI computing clusters requiring multi-hundred-megawatt power interconnection.
