Applied Digital brings another 75 MW of AI infrastructure online at Polaris Forge 1.

Applied Digital has achieved Ready for Service status for the second phase of Building 2 at its Polaris Forge 1 campus, delivering an additional 75 MW of critical IT load across three new 25 MW data halls. This milestone completes Building 2's full 150 MW capacity and brings total operational critical IT load at the campus to 250 MW—more than halfway toward the 400 MW contracted for full buildout at this fully leased AI Factory Campus.

"Bringing another 75 MW of AI infrastructure online at Polaris Forge 1 further demonstrates our ability to turn large-scale power into operational AI infrastructure," said Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital. "Securing power is only the starting point. The real work is designing, building, commissioning, and operating the infrastructure that transforms those megawatts into usable capacity for customers. That is the capability we continue to scale across our platform."

The latest delivery follows the initial 100 MW from the first building and the earlier 75 MW phase of Building 2, illustrating Applied Digital's repeatable approach to developing and operating large-scale infrastructure purpose-built for advanced AI and high-performance computing workloads. With 250 MW now operational, a further 150 MW remains to reach the contracted 400 MW total.

Polaris Forge 1 is located in Ellendale, North Dakota, where Applied Digital has operated since 2021, building long-standing relationships with local leaders, partners, and community stakeholders. As the campus expands, the company remains focused on responsible development, local partnership, and creating long-term value in the communities where it operates.
