About Firmus Wesley Vale AI Factory

Firmus's Wesley Vale AI Factory is a proposed facility at 226 Mill Road on part of the former Wesley Vale pulp-mill site in Tasmania. Firmus describes a two-stage build: approximately 26 MW of facility capacity with 23 MW critical IT initially, expanding to approximately 52 MW facility capacity and 46 MW critical IT. Application materials describe roughly 3,500 square metres of total building area and a 2,690-square-metre data hall, with 40 diesel backup generators. Firmus estimates average annual cooling-water use of 448 kL sourced from onsite rainwater. The development application remains under planning assessment; in September Latrobe Council requested state major-project review.

Electric GridPotential Or Planned

26 MW

Existing industrial electrical infrastructure supports an initial 26 MW connection concept; future substation upgrades would support the second stage. The connection remains planned.

Onsite GenerationPlanned Or Represented

40 generators

Forty diesel backup generators are planned; generator MW is undisclosed.

Cooling SystemPlanned Or Represented

448 kiloliters per year

Firmus estimates 448 kL average annual cooling water, sourced from onsite rainwater; this is water consumption rather than thermal capacity.

FiberPlanned Or Represented

Firmus is recruiting network/fibre deployment roles for Wesley Vale; carrier count and completed fiber routes are not yet public.
