Oakline at Mill Creek is a planned grid-reactive data center campus located in Salem, Oregon, developed by Verrus (backed by Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners) through its subsidiary Alderstone LLC.
Spanning 75 acres within the Mill Creek Corporate Center, the proposed development features multi-building construction totaling over 600,000 square feet, starting with an initial capacity in the dozens of megawatts. The facility is engineered to feature Verrus’s proprietary StabiliGrid technology—utilizing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery storage and closed-loop cooling—to dynamically flex power usage in coordination with Portland General Electric (PGE), providing sustainable digital infrastructure while helping balance the regional energy grid.
Verrus™ specializes in the development of next-generation data centers, prioritizing innovation, flexibility, and sustainability. By fundamentally rethinking traditional design, the company offers tailored solutions that enhance operational agility for customers without compromising uptime or availability.
A key focus of Verrus™ is the integration of infrastructure with the energy sector. Their facilities are designed to reduce carbon emissions and alleviate stress on the electrical grid, providing active support to local power systems.
