The company, a digital infrastructure concern focused on operating and expanding scalable power and data center assets for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence workloads, and digital asset infrastructure, today announced engagements with three specialized firms to support its investor relations and Tennessee government-affairs functions.
The additions come as the Company explores positioning its approximately 53 MW of power-ready infrastructure across the Tennessee Valley Authority region for AI and HPC deployment.
