Applied Digital Hits 1 GW, $31 Billion Bet Starts
Applied Digital on Wednesday said it has signed a 15-year take-or-pay lease with the same unnamed U.S. investment-grade hyperscaler already leasing at its Delta Forge 1 campus. The deal adds 300 megawatts of critical IT load at a new Polaris Forge 3 site, lifting contracted capacity for the Dallas-based company past 1 gigawatt. The lease, which requires the customer to pay whether or not it uses the full capacity, is worth about $7.5 billion over the base term.
