NorthVault AI has launched a new data-centre campus at an undisclosed Ontario location with four megawatts of power already secured.

The company said the campus has secured four megawatts of grid power power for AI computing, with the full 43.75-MW buildout expected to be energized by the third quarter of 2027 and the potential to expand to 120 megawatts. NorthVault said the project has completed its system impact assessment and was independently validated by Computer Room Services Corporation, which confirmed the site’s feasibility. ]

The campus is designed for direct liquid-to-chip cooling, uses a closed-loop system that consumes no water, and is connected by diverse dark-fibre links to Toronto and Chicago. Dark fibre is unused fibre-optic cable infrastructure. According to Neos Nationwide, dark fibre (also known as unlit fibre) is extra fibre-optic cable placed in the ground for lease so that organizations can build their own private networks.

“NorthVault has solved the two constraints that decide AI deals, power and connectivity,” said Chris Tsiropoulos, president of NorthVault. “Qualified operators can deploy on a timeline few sites in North America can match.”

NorthVault said it is in discussions with neocloud operators and AI and high-performance computing tenants, is accepting reservations for the four megawatts currently available, and is evaluating strategic partnerships for the remainder of the project buildout. The company noted that project capacities and timelines remain subject to final engineering, utility confirmation, definitive agreements and grid availability.

NorthVault AI develops sovereign, liquid-cooled graphics-processing-unit data centre capacity in Ontario, pairing power secured in advance with NVIDIA native infrastructure and diverse dark fibre.
