Summary
The company this week announced it was proposing a small-scale data center project on the Petersburg waterfront at the former Ocean Beauty Seafoods canning plant. “The existing 2MW transformer on the property has been sitting idle since the cannery closed in 2016,” the company said on LinkedIn. Petersburg is located in Petersburg Borough, near the southern tip of Alaska, close to the border with British Columbia in Canada. The company noted the project is still in the early stages and nothing has been signed or finalized.
