Beetaloo Energy secures land for huge $40bn AI data centre near Darwin
“The NT Government’s decision gives Beetaloo Energy the certainty to advance the next phase of this major project and strengthens the Territory’s position as a future hub for digital infrastructure and investment.”
Under the “not to deal” arrangement, the government commits to give Beetaloo Digital the exclusive right to make plans for the 185ha site while the company progresses the project and investigates its feasibility.
The project would be powered by up to two GW of gas fired power generation fuelled by gas piped from the Beetaloo.
