Fortitude Mining will construct a data center in Grand Island, Nebraska, near a solar farm and an electric substation. The company will cover all construction costs and pay the city $18,000 annually for land lease, increasing by 3% each year.

The energy supply arrangement is designed to be interruptible, allowing the city to manage peak energy demands without adding burden to taxpayers. The proximity to the solar farm will enable direct power utilization, reducing the need for substation transformers. The city retains the ability to cut power to the data center if necessary.
