1414 Degrees Secures Heads of Agreement to Develop 1 GW AI Data Centre at Aurora Energy Precinct, South Australia

The Gas-to-Nuclear Bridge for AI Data Centers

Amentum (AMTM) announced that the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) selected them to negotiate a phased lease at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The proposed public-private project would pair a 1-gigawatt (GW) AI data center with approximately 2 GW of dedicated on-site generation. The site would initially be powered [...] The post The Gas-to-Nuclear Bridge for AI Data Centers appeared firs…

Aurora Energy Precinct Secures Major AI Data Centre Partnership

We’re pleased to announce we’ve signed a Heads of Agreement with an Australian data centre operator to develop up to 1 GW of AI data centre infrastructure at our Aurora Energy Precinct in South Australia, anchored on Aurora’s firmed renewable generation and storage assets. The operator has been granted exclusivity over an initial 40-hectare parcel within Aurora’s 15.8 km² landholding, which offers long-term tenure, up to 900 MW of solar generation potential, an approved 140 MW / 280 MWh battery energy storage system, high-voltage connection infrastructure, and access to fibre and water. We’re proposing the development in three stages: an indicative 17 MW starter campus using the 33kV connection we announced last week, a 200 MW anchor campus once the 275kV transmission line is connected, and a longer-term pathway to gigawatt scale as Aurora’s renewable generation is progressively built out. The modular data centre technology involved is designed to work with renewable generation and storage, and can be relocated or replaced as technology evolves. Under the proposed structure, we would provide the development parcel, power and connectivity, while our partner would bring the capital, technical expertise and operating capability to deploy and run the infrastructure. We intend to negotiate definitive agreements covering land access, behind-the-meter renewable energy, battery storage, grid connection and precinct services, and we’ll continue working with SA Power Networks, ElectraNet and other stakeholders to progress connection arrangements. This partnership adds to the momentum building around Aurora and the wider Australian market: major AI infrastructure companies, including Anthropic, have publicly flagged requirements for 500 MW-plus sites in Australia, and other global technology companies have recently signed renewable power agreements to support their own data centre operations here — trends that speak well to Aurora’s commercial position. Dr Kevin Moriarty, Executive Chairman, commented: “This agreement validates Aurora’s strategy of attracting energy-intensive industries to a site purpose-built for renewable generation, storage and grid connectivity. The 33kV connection lets us start generating value from part of the precinct now, while the 275kV build-out and Aurora’s solar and battery storage development continue in parallel.” We’ll keep the market updated as definitive agreements are executed or other material developments arise.
