Hyperscale Data Subsidiary Reaches Agreement in Principle with Key Utility to Expand Michigan Data Center to 300 Megawatts, which Would Allow the Company to Advance its AI Infrastructure Growth
19 February 2025 - 10:30PM
Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified
holding company (“
Hyperscale Data” or the
“
Company”), today announced that its indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary Alliance Cloud Services, LLC
(“
ACS”) has reached an agreement in principle with
the local utility expected to energize ACS’ Michigan data center
(the “
Data Center”), enabling ACS to increase its
power capacity from approximately 30 megawatts
(“
MW”) to 300 MW. The completion of the power
upgrade is anticipated to take 44 months from execution of a formal
Letter of Authorization (the “
LOA”) between ACS
and the utility, which is currently being negotiated.
The expansion of the Data Center to 300 MW will
be a critical long-term milestone, which would enable ACS to
increase its expansion efforts and further support the rapidly
growing demand for high-performance computing
(“HPC”) services powering artificial intelligence
(“AI”) infrastructure. Hyperscale Data is
simultaneously proceeding with the transition of the Data Center’s
existing power capacity of 30MW from that of self-mining of Bitcoin
to HPC services. As a part of negotiating the LOA, Hyperscale Data
anticipates discussing potential approaches that could provide
incremental power while the full buildout project is underway.
Hyperscale Data is currently in the process of deploying the
network, electrical and cooling systems for its first HPC
environment. As Hyperscale Data moves forward in the coming months
with both its short-term transition to HPC services and its power
upgrade expansion process it will provide ongoing updates to its
stockholders and the public as developments warrant.
Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of
Hyperscale Data, commented, “We are pleased to have finally reached
an agreement in principle with the local utility and look forward
to executing a definitive agreement with it. This would be a
game-changer for our business and the future of our AI
infrastructure. Scaling our Data Center to 300 MW would
significantly enhance our ability to meet surging demand from AI
and high-performance computing customers. It also marks a major
step forward in our transformation into a pure-play data center
operator. We are committed to building a world-class facility that
powers the next generation of technology, and this anticipated
expansion is a significant step forward to meeting that
objective.”
The completion of the power upgrade is subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties, one or more which could
result in the project being terminated, including, but not limited
to: failure to agree upon terms and execute a definitive agreement;
the inability of ACS or the Company to raise sufficient funds to
pay for the power upgrades; failure to obtain regulatory consents
and approvals; the inability to obtain sufficient easements,
rights-of-way and land rights necessary to the work to be
performed, and other presently unforeseen events or conditions.
Additional information regarding the material
terms of the LOA will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K
to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”).
