Nakota AI Data Campus targets an initial 100 megawatts (MW) of AI infrastructure capacity as developers advance plans for a hyperscale data center and compute platform designed to support up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of total capacity upon full buildout.
The project received a significant boost following the execution of a strategic memorandum of understanding between Tachyon9 Corporation and Nidar Infrastructure Limited, the parent company and majority shareholder of Yotta Data Services. Under the framework, Nidar’s U.S. affiliate is expected to serve as the anchor customer for the first 100 MW phase while also participating as an economic partner in the development.
At full utilization, the initial 100 MW deployment is projected to generate approximately $156 million in annual contracted infrastructure revenue, representing roughly $2.34 billion over the 15-year commitment outlined in the agreement.
Developers envision Nakota as a vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform combining power infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, GPU compute resources, AI cloud services, and long-term colocation operations. The project is intended to support growing demand for artificial intelligence computing and high-performance data center capacity.
Upon full development, the campus could support up to 1 GW of capacity. Making it one of the larger AI infrastructure developments planned in North America
The Nakota AI Data Campus joins a growing pipeline of AI-focused data center developments seeking to capitalize on surging demand for artificial intelligence computing. In Michigan, Hyperscale Data is advancing its Michigan AI Data Center Campus Expansion, which targets an initial 52 MW buildout and could support more than 300 MW of capacity over the long term. And in Texas, DataBank’s Red Oak data center campus has also secured $650 million in financing to support the addition of 60 megawatts of IT capacity through a fourth building.
