World’s First Digital Fort Knox Approved For Construction
The Niobrara Data Center Energy Park will be fully self-contained, secure data center site with power, water, fiber and all essential approvals.
Niobrara NatGas LLC has announced that the final hurdle has been crossed in an ambitious new development site for the world’s next generation, most secure and fully contained data center and self-generated energy production facility. Having just been awarded the first gas utility in the state of Colorado in fifteen years, the company has now cleared the way for one of the world’s major cloud computing companies to develop a first-of-its-kind data center, capable of generating its own secure power and located in a truly unique area with fresh non-tributary water supply, telecommunications, electric, natural gas and fiber grids, creating a “digital Fort Knox” for the world’s next generation cloud computing.
The territory will serve the 662-acre Niobrara Data Center Energy Park located in northern Colorado. The project site, engineered by CH2M HILL, is zoned, process ready, strategically located, secure and flexible, offering distinct advantages for mission-critical development. It is at a nexus of all essential infrastructure enabling conventional, cloud computing data center development and innovative Microgrid development scenarios which offer the highest level of energy security and reliability. The site is federal cloud ready and capable of sustainable perpetual motion energy with ten to fifteen years of uninterruptable gas contracts that hedge the most expensive cost of data center operations: energy.
