Where it stands

Applied Digital's 10-Q filed October 7, 2026 says both Polaris Forge 3 buildings, 300 MW in total, are under construction. The campus is leased to a tier-one investment-grade hyperscaler, with expected delivery from 2H 2027 to 2H 2028. As of mid-October 2026 its project financing was still pending, and a separate 1,200 MW gas plant from Base Electron is intended to supply power to the campus, with deliveries expected in 2030. Analysts report talks about a 150 MW expansion, but no contract is disclosed.
