GigaTown North

Turn compute into a winter economy.

A proposed northern community connects firm generation and a compute anchor with heat recovery, greenhouse agriculture, water services and civic thermal infrastructure.

NuclearCo supplies firm electricity to compute and participating regional loads under future agreements. The compute anchor pays for power and heat removal; HeatCo recovers its low-grade heat and retains independent final rejection. Qualified nuclear heat and condensate preheat cross isolated interfaces. HeatCo supplies FarmCo thermal stations and qualified district, hot-water and civic services. WaterCo accepts residual heat only within measured flow, temperature headroom, rights, permits and contracts; it provides assigned water-side services to farms and community customers. FarmCo and growers provide food, jobs, enterprise and useful thermal demand. The host community, public bodies and irrigation districts shape service standards, access and agreements.

Industrial coolant, nuclear fluids where applicable, potable, public-contact, irrigation and crop water remain isolated wherever required. Useful demand never replaces independent cooling or emergency capability.

Proposed company

NuclearCo

Role: Proposed firm-generation company and nuclear-side thermal-interface operator.
Owns or operates: The firm-generation package; nuclear and conventional-island systems within its licensed boundary; candidate feedwater/condensate-preheat and high-grade heat interfaces, subject to OEM and regulatory validation.
Receives: Fuel, cooling and operating services within its final design; HeatCo service across approved isolated exchangers; payments under future power and thermal agreements.
Provides: Firm electricity and, where validated, high-grade thermal service or preheat opportunity.
Community value: Reliable regional power, skilled long-term work, and the firm backbone supporting year-round productive infrastructure.
Key interfaces: HeatCo, the compute anchor, future electric-distribution counterparties, regulators, and the host community.
Status and open questions: Current planning package; not a selected EPC contract, licensed configuration, vendor commitment, or approved project.

Proposed company

HeatCo

Role: Proposed thermal utility responsible for compute heat removal, thermal distribution, useful-heat services, and final rejection.
Owns or operates: Shared thermal architecture; data-center-facing cooling interface; greenhouse thermal stations; district heat and hot-water interfaces; civic thermal infrastructure; HeatCo-side irrigation exchangers and controls; independent final rejection and bypass capacity.
Receives: Low-grade recovered heat from compute; qualified high-grade heat or preheat service from NuclearCo; payments for cooling and thermal services; water services from WaterCo where contracted.
Provides: Cooling service, greenhouse thermal service, district heat, hot water, civic thermal amenities, and measured residual heat at WaterCo's isolated receiving interface.
Community value: Converts a cooling obligation into lower-cost productive heat services, agricultural capacity, and visible public amenities without making the community a safety dependency.
Key interfaces: Compute anchor, NuclearCo, WaterCo, FarmCo, civic customers, homes, businesses, and industry.
Status and open questions: Current parent planning package with Green and Civic as the clearest current divisions; Heat, Hot Water, Refrigeration, and the exact WaterCo interface require further division-level work.

Proposed company

WaterCo

Role: Proposed North water utility responsible for the water side of irrigation cooling, municipal water services, community water-infrastructure support, and farmer heat-uplift payments.
Owns or operates: Agricultural receiving-flow access and mixing; WaterCo-side heat exchangers, pumping, metering, and water distribution where assigned; municipal drinking-water, wastewater, reclaimed-water, and related community services as later engineered; contracted water-infrastructure improvements; administration of farmer payments for accepted temperature uplift.
Receives: Residual low-grade heat offered by HeatCo across isolated interfaces; source, irrigation, municipal, and recovered-water flows within applicable rights and permits; service payments and capital under future agreements.
Provides: Agricultural/irrigation cooling capacity, municipal water services, water-infrastructure support, compliant return or delivery service, and contracted payments to participating farmers for measured heat acceptance.
Community value: Its wedge into the community is useful infrastructure: better water systems and service, transparent farmer agreements, and recurring payments tied to a real operating service rather than generalized mitigation.
Key interfaces: HeatCo, FarmCo, growers, irrigation districts, municipalities/public entities, environmental and water authorities, and the host community. HeatCo retains the technical cooling loop, HeatCo-side exchangers and controls, bypass, and independent final rejection. WaterCo owns and operates the assigned water-side service. Industrial coolant and agricultural or municipal water do not mix merely because they exchange heat.
Status and open questions: Proposed company boundary, recorded in the canonical North WaterCo package. Exact assets, rights, tariffs, municipal scope, public/private boundaries and farmer-payment contracts remain unresolved. HeatCo Irrigation remains supporting evidence; its historical prices and throughput are not current offers.

Proposed company

FarmCo

Role: Proposed greenhouse infrastructure and agricultural co-op platform.
Owns or operates: Greenhouse and farm infrastructure, crop-side systems, climate batteries, water-recovery interfaces, farm electrical service, and the grower operating/co-op model. HeatCo separately owns the greenhouse thermal stations.
Receives: HeatCo greenhouse thermal service; WaterCo and agricultural-water services; electricity; grower labor, operating expertise, and capital participation.
Provides: Controlled-environment agricultural capacity, food production, useful thermal demand, recovered-water flows, jobs, local businesses, and farmer/local ownership opportunities.
Community value: Turns required thermal infrastructure into productive agricultural capacity while preserving growers' responsibility for crops and creating a protected path to local participation and ownership.
Key interfaces: HeatCo, WaterCo, growers, agricultural businesses, electric service, and the host community.
Status and open questions: Current North planning package based on 300 standard 30 × 96 ft greenhouses across ten farms. It remains a proposal, not a built fleet or guaranteed grower return.
