WhiteFiber completes US$60 million purchase of two North Carolina sites and says switchgear commissioning issues interrupted its first NC-1 data hall

What changed

WhiteFiber says its subsidiary Enovum Data Centers has completed the purchase of two industrial properties in Yadkin County, North Carolina (NC-2 and NC-3) for US$60 million in cash: about 120 acres with 500,000 square feet of existing warehouse space that it plans to retrofit into data centre campuses. The company expects a combined minimum of 60 MW of initial gross utility capacity, with potential for up to about 200 MW within seven years subject to confirmation and power availability, and targets initial ready-for-service capacity in late 2027 (company targets). At its NC-1 campus in Madison, switchgear-related commissioning issues interrupted service and billing for the first 20 MW IT data hall and delayed the ramp to full contracted billing beyond the August timeframe it had expected. About 35 MW of the contracted 40 MW IT deployment is now operational, with the remaining 5 MW still being brought online.
