JEV Announces First Oklahoma AI Data Center Site Location
Jericho is pleased to announce details of its inaugural build-to-suit AI data center location, the Morrison Data Center Site ("MDC"), situated on the Company's oil and gas JV acreage in Noble County, Oklahoma.
MDC offers access to extensive foundational data center infrastructure, including access to grid power, a plentiful supply of low-price natural gas, water and nearby backbone fiber. Existing site assets include 70 miles of gas gathering pipelines with corresponding rights-of-way, electrical grid infrastructure, 10 million gallons of on-site water storage, 2 million gallons via pipeline, and fiber connectivity.
JEV's management believes the MDC location and infrastructure are highly attractive to AI data center clients currently engaged in negotiations.
Oklahoma has emerged as a premier hub for AI data center development, with leading technology companies investing billions to expand AI infrastructure across the state, including projects in close proximity to JEV's MDC site.
