Bitzero Polson hydropowered data center
Polson, Lake County, MT
Work on Bitzero Polson hydropowered data center in Polson, MT has stalled. Reported capacity is 50 MW with a reported investment of $500 million. Rumored / unconfirmed: Bitzero announced in June 2022, with Gov. Gianforte and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes' Energy Keepers, a 50 MW crypto/HPC data center near Polson powered by the tribally owned dam, with up to $500M investment. No permits or construction have been reported since; trackers still list it as proposed, so it is carried here as stalled. (Source dated 2022-06-02.).
