Key FactsNextDC delays Melbourne data centre expansion

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: theguardian.com

NextDC said Jemena halted work over safety concerns, lack of site access and opposition; the local council had not approved the 22-metre poles.

After trading resumed Wednesday, shares fell from above $9 to $5.69; net revenue guidance dropped from $615m–$640m to $475m–$500m.

The expansion is intended to raise capacity from 60MW to 225MW, and NextDC has already sold that processing capacity to customers.

NextDC and Jemena are considering alternative power supplies, including pole routes through industrial areas and underground connections.
