ScopePlex is tracking 2 projects in North Dakota across 1 sector Data Center. Each is built from public construction-phase records — permits, interconnection filings, EPC awards, and capex disclosures — so BD teams at specialty contractors can see which North Dakota projects are entering the window where subcontract relationships are won, months before the formal RFP. Counts are confidence-scored and refreshed continuously.

Market context

North Dakota's opportunity is built on Bakken natural gas: abundant, low-cost fuel and a cold climate have drawn large data center campuses — including sites in Ellendale and Jamestown — some designed around on-site or behind-the-meter generation and waste-heat reuse. Sparse population and available transmission make the state attractive for power-dense loads.

Both the MISO and SPP queues matter here, as does Basin Electric's cooperative capacity planning for large loads. North Dakota Public Service Commission siting cases and DEQ air permits for gas-fired generation are the key state records; county commission approvals in a small number of jurisdictions cover most active sites.
