Applied Digital brings 250 MW online at Polaris Forge 1 campus

Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) announced it has achieved Ready for Service status for the second phase of Building 2 at its Polaris Forge 1 campus in Ellendale, North Dakota, adding 75 MW of critical IT load across three 25 MW data halls.

The milestone completes Building 2's full 150 MW of critical IT load and brings total operational critical IT load at Polaris Forge 1 to 250 MW. The campus is contracted to deliver 400 MW of critical IT load at full buildout and is described as fully leased.

The latest phase follows the first 100 MW building at Polaris Forge 1 and an initial 75 MW phase of Building 2.

Wes Cummins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital, said: "Securing power is only the starting point. The real work is designing, building, commissioning, and operating the infrastructure that transforms those megawatts into usable capacity for customers. That is the capability we continue to scale across our platform."
