How we checked this
Checked on October 10, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The release presents the 200-plus days of free cooling as an advantage of the Dakotas in general. It does not attribute that figure to the Polaris Forge 1 site specifically.
Confirmed in the source:
- Applied Digital cites over 200 days of naturally occurring free cooling annually as an advantage of building in the Dakotas
- Polaris Forge 1 is located in Ellendale, North Dakota
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the over-200-days free cooling figure is stated specifically for the Polaris Forge 1 site, rather than for the Dakotas region generally
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of IR page (ir.applieddigital.com) (https://ir.applieddigital.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/126/applied-digital-reports-fiscal-fourth-quarter-and-full-year/) in full (41,830 characters, retrieved September 1, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
