Michigan Data Center to Reach 340 Megawatts

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”) has reached an agreement in principle with the local natural gas utility to provide the capability to energize ACS’ Michigan data center (the “Data Center”), with an additional 40 megawatts (“MW”). This would enable ACS to increase its power capacity from approximately 30 MW to approximately 340 MW. This announcement follows the Company’s recent announcement detailing ACS’ ability to expand the Data Center to 300 MW. The project is expected to be completed within 18 months of the execution of definitive agreements.

As the Company recently stated, the expansion of the Data Center to 300 MW is a crucial long-term goal for ACS, enabling ACS to better serve the rapidly growing demand for high-performance computing (“HPC”) services powering artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure. The Company notes that the incremental 40 MW of power would be delivered significantly sooner than the previously announced power upgrade. This is due, in part, to the difference in power supply, as the approximately 300 MW increase would be coming from grid utility sources, including nuclear power, while the approximately 40 MW would be coming from natural gas delivered to the Data Center. The Company is working through multiple approaches that could utilize the natural gas supply and provide incremental power to the Data Center while the larger power upgrade project is under way. Additionally, the Company is exploring options that could potentially provide a further incremental capability to energize another approximately 85 MW. As Hyperscale Data moves forward in the coming months with both its short-term transition to HPC services and its power upgrade expansion process, it will provide ongoing updates to its stockholders and the public as developments warrant.

William B. Horne, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperscale Data, commented, “We are excited to take another step in the right direction for the Company’s long-term goal of becoming a pureplay data center business. The use of alternative power sources will be critical in ACS’ plans to bring incremental power to the Data Center and serve the growing AI data center industry.”

The completion of the power upgrades is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, one or more which could result in the project being curtailed, delayed or terminated, including, but not limited to: failure to agree upon terms and execute definitive agreements; the inability of the Company to raise sufficient funds to pay for the power upgrades; failure to obtain regulatory consents and approvals; the inability to obtain sufficient easements, rights-of-way and land rights necessary to the work to be performed, and other presently unforeseen events or conditions.
