Quantica Plans for 1GW Campus in Montana

Quantica Infrastructure, a new venture focused on providing land and power to data centers in the US this week introduced its flagship development platform, Big Sky Digital Infrastructure, a 5,000-acre energy and digital infrastructure campus outside Billings, Montana.

The company said the project will initially offer 500MW of capacity via renewable power and battery energy storage, expandable to 1GW. The company plans to start construction of the Big Sky Campus beginning in 2026.

“Montana has always been a state that builds its future on the strength of its people and natural resources,” said Damon Obie, co-founder of Big Sky Digital Infrastructure. “The Big Sky Campus represents a unique opportunity to build on the industries that powered our history with the digital economy that will define our future. This project is about creating opportunities for Montanans, so our communities can thrive in the digital age while staying true to our values and heritage.”

“A well-planned digital economy can support communities through employment opportunities and infrastructure investments,” said Chesser, also named as co-founder of Big Sky Digital Infrastructure. “Having begun this journey in 2024 when we formed Quantica, we are excited to announce the Big Sky Campus to our customers and our community partners. This project uses the rising demand for hyperscale, AI, and cloud computing to deliver land, renewable energy, and high-speed fiber in one integrated solution.”
