Contact Energy and data centre operator CDC are exploring the option of building a 250 MW data centre together on the site of a defunct gas power plant in the Taranaki town of Stratford.
In a statement released to the NZX, the energy company said it was working with CDC to seek resource consent for the data centre to be built near the site of its recently retried Taranaki Combined Cycle gas power plant.
“It is our intention that electricity for the proposed facility would be supplied under long-term contract, supported by new generation from Contact’s 11 TWh pipeline of geothermal, wind and solar development options,” said Contact CEO Mike Fuge.
