Profile
Summary
• Prometheus Hyperscale’s flagship 1GW+ sustainable data center campus located in Evanston, southwest Wyoming.
• One of the most advanced sustainable data centers in the U.S., spanning 12,000 acres with planned IT capacity of 1,000–3,000 MW.
• Estimated $10 billion investment; cornerstone of Prometheus’s growth strategy.
• Strategically positioned on a major transcontinental fiber optic route along the 41st parallel.
• Phase 1 construction underway; initial capacity delivery by late 2027, with phased expansion through 2030.
• Broad local, state, and federal political support.
Grid-Independent Microgrid Power
• Independent Power Producer partnership secured with Fortune 500 top-3 merchant power generation company.
• Dual natural gas pipelines for redundant energy supply.
• Carbon intensity tailored to tenant timelines.
• Oklo agreement for 100MW advanced nuclear power in expansion phase.
Advanced Sustainable Technology
• Innovative liquid cooling utilizing deep aquifer water, reducing cooling energy by ~50%.
• First-of-its-kind waste heat recycling, beneficially reused at nearby agricultural operations.
• Clean Energy Strategy: 100% carbon-free operation powered by wind, solar, and future nuclear via Oklo partnership.
• Future-proof design supporting ultra-high rack densities (300+ kW/rack), enabling seamless upgrades to next-generation AI and HPC hardware.
Comprehensive Regulatory Approvals
• Conditional Use Permit (CUP) granted by Uinta County in early 2021, approving data center development.
• CUP amendment approved in September 2021, optimizing site layout and expansion.
• All key regulatory permits in place, including environmental clearances, utility Schedule 400 processing, and access road approvals.
• Site cleared and construction commenced in 2022, fully authorized and shovel-ready.
Site and Infrastructure
• Active site development at Aspen Mountain, initiated in 2022.
• Extensive grading and preparation completed on stable, high-desert terrain, eliminating flood risk.
• Privately owned and fully controlled 640-acre expansion site ensures rapid, multi-phase deployment without land acquisition delays.
• Dedicated 138 kV substation secured (120 MW initial capacity), with utility infrastructure (power, fiber, road) installed for full 1GW build-out.
Leadership Team
• Bernard Looney, Chairman: Former CEO of BP; provides strategic oversight leveraging 30+ years in energy, ensuring successful project execution.
• Trenton Thornock, Founder & CEO: Visionary behind the Evanston development, deeply experienced in energy infrastructure, driving the sustainability-focused project forward.
• Trevor Neilson, President: Climate-tech entrepreneur managing operational strategies and key partnerships, aligning sustainability goals with business growth.
