06/04/25: Nick Phillips is the Executive Vice President of Public Affairs with Applied Digital. He joins Joel in the KFGO studio to talk about his company and why they've built in North Dakota.

Applied Digital officially began operations in March 2021, with serious site selection beginning that June. After exploring multiple locations, the company landed on Jamestown as its first North Dakota data center site. Construction began in September 2021, and by January 2022, the facility was up and running, reaching full operation in June of the same year.

Ellendale followed as the next major project, beginning construction in September 2022. Unlike Jamestown’s 100-megawatt capacity, Ellendale is a significantly larger operation. Parts of the facility were live by March 2023, and by July of that year, it was fully operational.
