Provider notes
Energy. New pipeline to carry North Slope natural gas to on-site power plant. Self-contained, not connected to Alaska's statewide electrical grid.
Water. Arctic air cooling reduces water consumption by 90%+ compared to industry norms per company. Sub-freezing average temperatures enable free air cooling.
Community. No confirmed customers or investors as of May 2026. Turbine sourcing delays (industry backlog up to 7 years) cited as major risk. Alaska-native leadership including former state DNR commissioner John Boyle. Indigenous opposition reported.
What the source record says
Preliminary state land lease approval covers 715.4 acres (corrected from 640; one square mile = 640 acres exactly but the approved lease footprint is 715.4 acres per Alaska Beacon). Campus is approximately 26 miles south of Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay off the Dalton Highway (corrected from 25 miles). Supports AI training, cloud computing, and HPC. 3 GW is the project's claimed ultimate potential; $500M is Phase 1 capital. Coordinates estimated (~26 miles south of Prudhoe Bay 70.2N/148.5W); exact site not publicly disclosed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
