An Iren campus in the US – Iren
The project is Iren’s first foray into Australia. Full details haven’t been shared, but the site should be energized in 2028.
Daniel Roberts, co-founder and co-CEO of Iren, said: “South Australia offers what AI infrastructure at scale requires: abundant clean energy, the connectivity to serve the APAC region, and a State Government that understands the opportunity and is acting on it. The Bundey campus is able to serve global and regional AI demand, as well as South Australia's own growing need for AI compute.”
