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
Announced by Nautilus Data Technologies: $300M investment, 60MW planned capacity, on a 13-acre parcel within the 1,400-acre former Great Northern Paper Co. site. Initial named tenants: Maine State Chamber of Commerce and Jackson Laboratory.
Underlying source - Cancelled
Reported dead by One Katahdin's mill-site redevelopment director; Nautilus could not secure the AI customer it wanted because the site could not deliver enough power.
Underlying source
Source notes
Site address (1 Katahdin Ave) and 1,400-acre complex size independently confirmed by EPA (a Brownfields cleanup release, not about this project). None of the cited sources specifies exactly which 13 acres of the complex were slated for the data center, so precision is approximate rather than exact. The mill site has since been rebranded 'One North' by nonprofit redeveloper Our Katahdin and is pursuing smaller-footprint tenants (biofuels, aquaculture) instead. Coordinates: OpenStreetMap Nominatim building match 'Great Northern Paper Administration Building' at this address (way/355222391), cross-checked against the US Census geocoder (onelineaddress) which landed ~230m away on the same site; the OSM building match is the pin used.
"The data center will be powered by an adjacent hydroelectric plant, which used to power the paper mill" (Data Center Knowledge).
