Energy North drops its June 2028 first-power date for the 1 GW Project Ares in Australia's Northern Territory after the regulator pauses its review
What changed
Energy North, the developer of a planned 1 GW gas and solar powered data centre campus on a cattle ranch in the Northern Territory, told Reuters it is no longer working to the 28 June 2028 first-power date in its filings. The Territory's Environment Protection Agency suspended its seven-week deadline on 7 October, listed 10 potential impacts from water to Aboriginal sacred sites, and said it would seek federal advice. The campus would include its own gas turbines. Energy North says it will confirm timing once the regulator sets the terms for an environmental impact statement.
