Provider notes
Energy. Proposed site was near Otter Tail Power transmission lines and a natural gas plant in Astoria.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced permanent jobs: The source note says the up-to-200 jobs figure belongs to the canceled proposal and is recorded in the status history rather than as a jobs value.
What the source record says
Status is 'cancelled' per Applied Digital's own March 2026 statement (land option to lapse). The 'up to $16 billion' investment and up to 200 jobs were announced figures for the proposal and are recorded in statusHistory rather than as structured investmentUsd/jobs, since the project will not proceed. aiClassification is 'confirmed' — Data Center Dynamics reported it as an AI data center. The Otter Tail Power association reflects the proposed (now abandoned) siting.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2025 · source-reported proposed
Applied Digital proposed a 430 MW AI data center campus near Toronto, SD, with up to $16 billion of announced investment and up to 200 permanent jobs. Data Center Dynamics reported the company was 'proposing an AI data center development east of Toronto in South Dakota.'
- 2026-03 · source-reported cancelled
Applied Digital told Keloland (statement March 2026) that the project was 'unlikely to go forward,' citing the South Dakota legislature's failure to pass a 50-year sales-tax exemption on IT equipment, and said it would let its land option near Toronto lapse.
