An Australian gas extraction firm has announced plans for an off-grid data center project outside Darwin.
Beetalo Energy this week announced it has launched Beetaloo Digital, a new wholly owned subsidiary, and plans to develop a gas-powered data center in the Northern Territory (NT).

The company said the NT Government has granted Beetaloo exclusivity over 185 hectares of contiguous land at Weddell, south of Darwin, for the development.
Up to 2GW of on-site gas-powered power generation is planned on the site, with potential to see AU$40 billion (US$28bn) invested. At least four large-scale data center buildings are planned, according to renderings.
