ABOUT

Delaware-based DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV LLC released plans for a 1,650 acre underwater hyperscale data center.  The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) approximately 330-350 marine hydrokinetic turbines utilizing a proprietary universal docking cradle system; (2) 66 modular subsea-compute hives (data center pods) integrated within the turbine array to utilize direct-coupled power and passive subsea cooling; (3) an approximately 3.5-mile long, 115 kV hybrid power/fiber-optic armored subsea cable; (4) a subsea cable landing site within the Nikiski Industrial Corridor, positioned between the Agrium Kenai Nitrogen Operations and the Kenai Liquefied Natural Gas Plant; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the DeepGreen Project would be 100 megawatts, which would primarily be utilized to power the subsea data center. Spare electricity could be diverted to the grid via an interconnect with the Alaska Railbelt Grid at a dedicated terrestrial substation.

 DeepGreen Cook Inlet does not have a website or a project page with information about the company or the technology it plans to use.

This project will directly effect the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales, as well as, salmon populations.

This is a short public comment I wrote but if you want it to be more detailed or just simply say “no data centers in Alaska” you can do that too! Biggest thing is to show we oppose this data center!
To whom it may concern,
I am an Alaskan who is very much against this proposed data center in the Cook Inlet! There is 0 benefit to Alaskans for this hyperscale underwater data center to be built. This will be devastating for the whole state in general when it comes to our salmon fishing, the endangered beluga whales that frequent the Cook Inet, & our waters. This will bring pollution, EMF that will harm aquatic wildlife, & who knows what other ecological issues. Alaska is not a state for data centers at all. We do not want them here! There is 0 need for AI hyperscale data centers anywhere!
