HUT 8’ S US $ 7BN AI CAMPUS DEAL: PROCUREMENT BLUEPRINT
Hut 8 has agreed to a US $ 7bn deal to lease and develop a massive data centre in Louisiana. It has signed a 15-year lease with Fluidstack for 245MW of IT capacity.
Its“ power‐first, partnership‐driven” model represents a sophisticated procurement strategy – one that integrates energy sourcing, engineering, construction, financing and operational services under a cohesive framework.
Collaboration with Jacobs, as Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management( EPCM) partner and Vertiv, for critical infrastructure shows the importance of multi‐tier supplier orchestration and category integration across power, IT and construction.
