Quantica Broadview Campus Faces Local Review
Coverage from Q2 News, Northern Plains Resource Council, and others
Quantica Infrastructure is planning a 5,000-acre data center campus near Broadview, Montana, with a first building targeted for 2029.
The company has sought grid capacity of up to 7,235 megawatts while evaluating renewable power, battery storage, and 1,785 megawatts of potential gas generation. The proposal remains early-stage and faces air-permitting requirements, environmental concerns, and an effort by nearby residents to require voter approval.
The main update is that Quantica has now tied the Broadview campus to a clearer timeline, with a first building targeted for 2029, while its power strategy has broadened and become more explicit. The regulatory and local-approval picture is also more concrete, with air-permitting scrutiny and a resident ballot effort now standing out as the key obstacles.
The biggest update is that Quantica’s power plan has become more explicit and more contentious: it is now tied to a possible 1,785-megawatt gas-fired component and state regulators are signaling major air-review requirements. At the same time, the story adds a labor agreement and clearer local push for a public vote, sharpening the approval fight.
