Monarch Compute Campus AI Data Centre

planned

Nscale plans to build and operate the Monarch Compute Campus, a large-scale AI data centre in Mason County, West Virginia. The campus will support 1.35 gigawatts of AI compute capacity using NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs and will feature the US' first state-certified AI microgrid with a power runway scaling beyond eight gigawatts. The project includes phased delivery starting in late 2027 and incorporates a microgrid design for on-site power generation, reducing reliance on the local grid. Caterpillar will provide G3500 series natural gas generator sets to supply up to two gigawatts of power by mid-2028. The campus is designed with environmental considerations including carbon sequestration and reduced water consumption.
