[SMM Aluminum Express News] A former aluminium smelter site in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales, Australia, has been earmarked for a proposed 540 MW data centre campus development. The project, led by developer Hydrogenic, plans to repurpose around 66 hectares of the former smelter site into up to nine data centre buildings, leveraging the site's existing power infrastructure and grid connectivity. The development could create one of Australia's largest data centre hubs and provide a new industrial use for the long-idled aluminium smelter site.
