How we checked this
Checked on October 10, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The release says the company broke ground on Delta Forge 1, which is designed for up to 300 MW of critical IT load, with initial operations expected in mid-calendar 2027. The release gives inconsistent campus figures elsewhere (430 MW and 500 acres versus 600 acres), but the claim does not rely on them.
Confirmed in the source:
- Applied Digital broke ground on Delta Forge 1
- Delta Forge 1 is designed to deliver up to 300 MW of critical IT load
- Initial operations at Delta Forge 1 are expected in mid-calendar 2027
