Prometheus Withdraws Data Center Plans from Natrona and Converse Counties
What happened
Prometheus Hyperscale confirmed it is no longer pursuing data center projects in Natrona and Converse Counties. The company president stated that Prometheus is progressing with its plans in Evanston, Uinta County. Previously, Prometheus had hoped to build a 1.25-gigawatt data center and related infrastructure entirely in Natrona County.
