Kevin O'Leary plans Utah data center fueled by Ruby Pipeline in Box Elder County
A proposed hyperscale data center and energy project is planned for Box Elder County, Utah. The project, backed by Kevin O'Leary, will utilize the financially distressed Ruby Pipeline to supply natural gas for power. The Hansel Valley is slated for the initial phase of development.
A proposed hyperscale data center and energy campus, championed by investor Kevin O'Leary, is slated for development in Hansel Valley, Box Elder County, Utah. Developers indicate that the project intends to utilize the Ruby Pipeline as a 'catalyst' for its energy supply. The pipeline, which had previously accumulated nearly $500 million in debt, is now positioned as central to providing natural gas to power the upcoming data center.
The Hansel Valley site has been identified as the location for the first phase of this ambitious project. This development highlights the repurposing of existing infrastructure, like the Ruby Pipeline, to support new energy-intensive ventures such as large-scale data centers in the region.
