Jamestown HPC facility expansion to 9 MW
Company: Applied Digital - Project: Jamestown
What the later record shows
The date slipped
Only initial capacity was energized in 2023. Later filings resize the facility to 7.5 MW and say it was still 'nearing completion' in January 2025, so the H2 2023 date was missed.
“successfully energized initial capacity at the facility. The facility successfully passed the Integrated Systems Test for its first 200KW of HPC equipment and systems”
