Data center development gets a new boost as Quantica Infrastructure debuts, backed by EnCap Investments, aiming to revolutionize the industry.
Quantica Infrastructure, a new player in the digital infrastructure industry, has announced the development of a flagship hyperscale data center project called Big Sky Digital Infrastructure (BSDI). Located on a 5,000-acre campus near Billings, Montana, the project is designed to meet the growing demands of the digital economy.
Renewable Energy, Traditional Grid Power, and Network Connectivity
The Big Sky Campus integrates three core components essential for hyperscale data centers. The campus will initially generate 500 MW of new renewable power combined with battery energy storage, expandable up to 1 GW of clean energy. This ensures a dedicated renewable power supply tailored for hyperscale and AI workloads.
In addition to renewable energy, the project offers resilient power integration by combining dedicated renewable energy generation with traditional grid connections. This ensures reliable and stable power for large-scale data center operations.
Strategic fiber optic network links will be integrated into the campus infrastructure to provide the necessary high-speed internet connectivity for hyperscale and cloud operators.
A Shovel-Ready, Network-Ready Platform
Quantica's approach to data center development focuses on providing shovel-ready, network-ready sites, with an emphasis on environmental sustainability and community benefits. The company combines renewable energy, traditional grid power, and network connectivity to create a comprehensive platform that accelerates data center deployments, particularly for AI, cloud, and hyperscale applications.
Backed by EnCap Investments, which has raised approximately $47 billion since 1988, Quantica's leadership team brings extensive experience with developing over 15 GW of energy projects and major digital campuses spanning 22 states. Their platform aims to reduce infrastructure development risk and compress timelines by securing power, land, and fiber in advance.
Big Sky Digital Infrastructure (BSDI)
Construction of the Big Sky Campus is planned to begin in 2026. The project is expected to help rapidly scale with the tailwinds pushing the digital economy.
As of August 2025, no other specific project locations beyond the Big Sky Campus in Montana are detailed in the available information. However, Quantica's services are designed to accelerate site selection, reduce risks, and expedite project delivery, positioning the company to tackle critical infrastructure challenges in the digital economy.
About Quantica Infrastructure
Quantica Infrastructure has launched to provide integrated digital infrastructure solutions. Their services are expected to help large clients focus on innovation, not infrastructure logistics. The company's platform offers opportunities for capital deployment in renewable power generation, real estate, and network, making it uniquely suited to meet the demands of hyperscale and AI growth for power, land, and network connectivity.
With John Chesser as the CEO and founder, Quantica is poised to accelerate site selection, reduce risks, and expedite project delivery, maximizing community and environmental benefits while addressing the nationwide shortage of construction-ready sites.
