The largest concentration is Ellendale, with 4 data centers, followed by Fargo with 4 and Grand Forks with 3. The operators with the most data centers in North Dakota are Applied Digital (6), Midcontinent Communications (4), Dakota Carrier Network (2), Marathon Digital (2), 702 Communications (1). Colocation and interconnection providers appear most often because they publish building-level detail; hyperscale campuses appear where the operator or the county names the individual buildings. Not every operator discloses size. In North Dakota, 4 publish a floor area and 8 publish a power figure, and each figure is shown against the data center it belongs to rather than added into one number. They are not the same measurement: one operator states the floor area of a single building, another the full capacity of a campus it has only announced. SPP runs the wholesale power market and the high-voltage grid for most of North Dakota. No statewide measure governing data centers is on record, alongside 2 local pauses. The list ## North Dakota data centers by city Every data center identified in North Dakota, grouped by the city or county it stands in, 26 of them across 10 places. Each entry names the operator and links to the source that states it. ### Data centers in Ellendale, North Dakota Ellendale, North Dakota has 4 data centers on this map, run by Applied Digital and Marathon Digital. 3 publish a power figure, shown against each one below. 1.
