“The Alaska Department of Natural Resources on Tuesday approved a 50-year land lease for a proposed large-scale computing data center on the North Slope near the Dalton Highway, the trans-Alaska oil pipeline and the proposed trans-Alaska natural gas pipeline. … Initial site development for the proposed ‘STAK Energy Campus’ is estimated to cost $500 million. The buildings and other infrastructure would include a multi-gigawatt natural gas power plant fired with gas produced locally on the North Slope. … To date, Alaska has no large-scale commercial computing data centers. The data center complex, which is expected to cover about 715 acres, would be air-cooled and would not be tied into the electrical grid that covers Alaska’s Railbelt, though operators could sell power to customers in and around Prudhoe Bay.” (11/12/26)
