Grand Island — ArchGreen will build its data center on land leased from the Southern Power District near Grand Island.
The data center, a cryptocurrency mining facility, is located on 60 Road, 400 meters south of Capital Avenue in the Southern Public Power Energy Park.
The 14-megawatt data center will consist of 14 compute containers built on a 2-acre site. Support cryptocurrencies and other cloud computing applications.
During operation, electricity is purchased from Southern Public Power.
At a Hall County Commission meeting Tuesday, Alan Cordova, ArchGreen’s vice president of development, said the container would be lower than the adjacent trees. He said the project would create no light pollution and would produce minimal noise.
Once operational, the project will have two full-time employees. Should be completed by July.
The board approved the conditional use permit for the data center by a 6-to-1 vote. Voting against it was Jane Richardson.
