Stream Data Centers plans removal of hydrogen storage spheres at STAMP

Stream Data Centers is funding the removal of previously installed hydrogen sphere tanks at the Science, Technology & Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP) campus in Genesee County, New York. This initiative is part of a recent agreement with Plug Power, which involves Stream acquiring Plug Power's interest in the STAMP site for its proposed Project Double Reed data center. The investment is a private transaction between Stream and Plug Power, with an approved permit from the Town of Alabama. Stream Senior Project Development Manager Bradley Wells stated that this proactive step ensures the company can meet customer timing if the project is approved, supporting regional growth. The project is currently undergoing ongoing State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) and Site Plan Review processes. Stream's proposed data center development, Project Double Reed, will utilize STAMP's existing energy infrastructure and capacity, while Stream will fully fund on-site transmission lines and substation infrastructure, insulating ratepayers from direct costs. The facility is designed for a quiet nighttime noise profile and will not create routine daily water consumption for IT cooling. The project is expected to create 125 full-time operations jobs, over 1,000 construction jobs, and generate more than $550 million in local and state revenue. Stream Data Centers emphasizes its commitment to being a responsible developer that engages with and invests in local communities. The company plans to continue engaging with the local Alabama community in the coming weeks to address concerns and ensure positive development outcomes. The removed hydrogen tanks will be recycled.
