A proposal has been unveiled for a $40 billion hyperscale data centre to be constructed in a rural suburb. The project is designed to operate on a massive scale, requiring an electricity supply more than six times the combined demand of the Darwin and Katherine power grids.
To meet these significant energy requirements, the facility would be powered by gas transported directly from the Northern Territory's Beetaloo Basin. The project represents a major infrastructure development, highlighting the substantial energy resources necessary to support large-scale data processing operations.
