Proposed sites / NWT

Tuktoyaktuk, NWT

A proposed hydro-adjacent AI data-centre location — a concept, evaluated for its geography: remote (wind + bess), beside beaufort sea coast.

Design-target PUE

1.20

Design target Power Usage Effectiveness — the ratio of total facility energy to IT energy. 1.20 is an aggressive cold-climate goal, not an operating result.
