Firmus 塔斯马尼亚最大数据中心 Long Reach 资金未到位,议会委员会获悉
据 ABC News 报道,Firmus 通用能源经理 Paul Grzinic 向塔斯马尼亚议会委员会表示,公司尚未为其计划中最大的塔斯马尼亚数据中心 Long Reach 筹足全部资金。

资金状况
Grzinic 向塔斯马尼亚议会能源委员会表示,位于朗塞斯顿 St Leonards 的站点资金已全部到位,Wesley Vale 一期同样资金齐全。公司发言人称,St Leonards 项目施工进展顺利,已与一家客户签约。该发言人说,Wesley Vale 一期已划拨资金,正等待批准。Long Reach 所在的 Bell Bay 站点已授予客户选择权,将分阶段筹资。Firmus 不愿透露这些客户的身份。
据 ABC News 报道,Firmus 正在朗塞斯顿 St Leonards 建设数据中心,Long Reach 已获开发批准,公司还在为塔斯马尼亚第三个设施 Wesley Vale 申请批准。Long Reach 是三处中最大的一个,规划容量为 288MW。据 The Conversation 报道,Bell Bay 站点将使 Firmus 成为塔斯马尼亚最大的用电户。Firmus 由联席首席执行官 Oliver Curtis 和 Tim Rosenfield 领导,有 Nvidia 投资。公司网站称,其在澳大利亚、新加坡、印度尼西亚和马来西亚共有两个站点投入运营、五个站点在建。
电力供应
Hydro Tasmania 表示,正在评估 Firmus 提出的 444MW 用电申请,预计年底前作出决定。该公司已确定三座规划中的风电场,投运后可向 Firmus 供电,但表示新增发电至少要等到 2030 年才能投用。
Grzinic 说,Firmus 塔斯马尼亚各设施所需能源都将在塔斯马尼亚本地开发和采购。他表示,顾问公司在提交给联邦人工智能调查的材料中误加了一些不正确的信息。
撤回 IPO
Firmus 于 10 月 9 日撤回了在澳大利亚证券交易所上市的申请,当天上午悉尼的认购簿刚刚关闭。董事会提到近期市场波动和当前市场状况,称发行条款无法恰当反映公司业务及其长期增长前景。董事会认定,继续推进此次发行不符合公司及其股东的最佳利益。据 ABC News 报道,这原本会是澳大利亚自 1997 年 Telstra 以来规模最大的上市。
Firmus 表示将寻求私募市场融资,并考虑其他公开和私募方案。据《海峡时报》报道,公司原计划在此次上市中筹集 55亿美元,所得资金用于帮助建设更广泛的网络。
审批
Firmus 正在就 George Town 议会限制 Long Reach 备用柴油发电机使用的一项条件提出上诉。据 ABC News 报道,Latrobe 议会已请规划部长 Kerry Vincent 将 Wesley Vale 提案作为重大项目审议。据 The Conversation 报道,约 6000 人签署请愿书反对 Bell Bay 项目。
