PUE: 1.1

Nautilus Data Technologies has canceled its plans to build a 60MW data center in Millinocket, Maine. The project, initially announced in 2021 with an original launch target of late 2022, was expected to be a $300 million investment.

The proposed data center was slated for the former site of the world's largest paper mill. It intended to leverage power and water resources from a nearby hydroelectric dam.
