IREN Stock Jumps After Sweetwater Power Milestone Puts Its AI Data Center Bet Back In Focus
IREN shares jumped on Monday after the company flipped the switch on its 1.4-gigawatt Sweetwater 1 data center in Texas, pushing a major chunk of its AI infrastructure project from the construction phase to the grid. According to the company, they’ve now tied the site’s high-voltage substation into ERCOT, Texas’s grid operator. Sweetwater 1 is part of IREN’s larger 2-gigawatt campus in the area.
