“ABB is working with Applied Digital to deliver 300MW of data centre in the south of the United States.”
MISLEADING
While ABB is working with Applied Digital on a 300MW project (Polaris Forge 2), the evidence states this project is located near Harwood, North Dakota, not in the 'south of the United States'. A separate 300MW lease exists in Louisiana, but the ABB partnership evidence specifically links the 300MW to North Dakota.
