Babcock & Wilcox signed a limited notice to proceed on a project valued at over $1.5 billion to design and install four 300 MW gas-fired boiler and steam turbine plants for an Applied Digital AI Factory, its entry into AI data-centre power.

Babcock & Wilcox chose Siemens Energy to supply the steam turbine generator sets for its one-gigawatt Applied Digital power project, under a limited notice to proceed it said would let it deliver power by the end of 2028.

Babcock & Wilcox received full notice to proceed on a $2.4 billion design-build contract with Base Electron, an Applied Digital-backed power producer, for 1.2 GW of gas-fired boiler and steam turbine capacity to supply Applied Digital AI Factory campuses.

Oliver County's planning and zoning board held its first hearings on Base Electron's 1,200 MW gas-fired Missouri Bend Energy Center, the plant Babcock & Wilcox is to build for Applied Digital near Center, North Dakota, and tabled all four applications for more information and landowner outreach.

Oliver County's planning and zoning board voted 2-3 against all four approvals for Base Electron's 1,200 MW Missouri Bend gas plant, the $2.4 billion Babcock & Wilcox project to power Applied Digital's data centres near Center, North Dakota, sending a recommendation to deny to the county commission.

Applied Digital agreed to buy capacity and energy from the roughly 1,200 MW gas-fired plant Base Electron plans near Center, North Dakota, for its Polaris Forge 3 campus. The 15-year deal lets Base Electron terminate it if financial close has not happened by 31 March 2027.

Base Electron, the power producer behind the 1.2 GW North Dakota gas plant Babcock & Wilcox is building for Applied Digital, said it had confidentially filed for a US initial public offering on 9 October 2026, five days after signing its 15-year power agreement with Applied Digital.

The 1,200 MW gas-fired plant Babcock & Wilcox is building for Base Electron near Center, North Dakota, to power Applied Digital's AI data centres is now due to run in 2030, after B&W first promised power by the end of 2028.
