Future expansion toward the potential 500MW total capacity will be evaluated through continued investigations and discussions with relevant electricity network providers and other stakeholders. The assessment will consider grid capacity, the availability of renewable generation in South Australia, and other infrastructure and planning requirements. Raystech's energy capabilities are expected to provide a foundation for coordinating power supply, renewable generation and energy storage with the campus's computing requirements, with the company aiming to combine these strengths with specialist data centre expertise to develop infrastructure that balances reliable performance, cost efficiency and responsible energy and water use.
The proposed campus will be developed in stages. Raystech intends to work constructively with local and state government, network providers and the community throughout planning and development, in accordance with applicable regulations and approval requirements. Community engagement will help the project team understand local priorities and assess potential impacts. Alongside supporting demand for AI computing infrastructure, the project aims to create local opportunities through construction and operational employment, procurement and supporting services. Raystech also plans to explore collaboration with local education and training institutions to support skills development and pathways into the energy and digital infrastructure sectors. The company said it is continuing discussions with organisations holding relevant technical and project-development expertise.
