Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
DPO announced a $200M AI computing development enabling up to 20 MW, with land and firm hydro power secured through CWPCo; energization targeted for 2026.
Underlying source
Source notes
Pre-development funded by an investor consortium led by Salutem Capital; Stantec providing engineering support. As of October 2026, the announcement gives no exact street address or acreage; BizTimes Milwaukee reports plans for "approximately 10 acres of land in Wisconsin Rapids", located "near downtown Wisconsin Rapids along Highway 34". Coordinates are the Wisconsin Rapids city geocode. As of October 2026, the cited sources are the announcement and a BizTimes Milwaukee report that attributes the project to a company announcement, so no independent reporting is cited and the record is marked reported. The announcement says the project "will enable up to 20 megawatts of AI computing"; as a ceiling, that is not recorded as planned capacity.
Firm power from CWPCo (a Billerud subsidiary and regulated utility operating 32 MW of hydroelectric generation). DPO secured a land lease of up to 50 years and interconnection rights to an existing, energized substation.
