Gorilla Technology signs non-binding letter of intent for its first US data centre and targets more than 100 MW of US capacity
The deal is valued mainly for its path to utility power rather than its current size. This suggests that securing grid capacity, not building facilities, is what determines entry into AI infrastructure. Because the letter of intent is non-binding and most of the capacity depends on future utility delivery, investors and customers should treat the 36 MW and 100 MW figures as targets until closing and power energisation are confirmed.
What Happened
On 9 October 2026, Gorilla Technology Group (NASDAQ: GRRR) announced a non-binding letter of intent to buy an operating US data centre with about 6 MW of current utility capacity. The company said the local utility has given written support for about 30 MW of additional power, giving a route to about 36 MW in total, and that it aims to complete the deal by the end of November 2026. Its wider US strategy targets more than 100 MW over the next 12 to 18 months.
