Brightray signs LOI for planned 10MW Indiana data center

Brightray has signed a letter of intent for a planned 10-megawatt AI data center in Indiana, with factory-built modules intended to shorten delivery. The proposal is not a construction award or a construction start, and implementation remains subject to final specifications and contract terms.

The company announced the agreement on Oct. 14, saying it signed the LOI on Oct. 6 with an unnamed U.S.-based mission-critical infrastructure partner. It would be Brightray’s first U.S. project letter of intent.

The partner intends to issue a purchase order by Nov. 15. Before implementation can proceed, the parties must finalize technical specifications, commercial terms, the project schedule and definitive contract documents.

Factory work would run alongside site preparation

Brightray plans to pre-install and integrate data-hall modules and related functional systems during manufacturing. Work at the Indiana site would then center on placing the modules, connecting interfaces and completing integrated commissioning.

The company said the approach would allow factory production to run in parallel with foundations and other site work, with the aim of reducing delivery time.

Its prefabricated systems use modular, standardized methods for design, manufacturing, delivery and lifecycle support. According to Brightray, the systems are intended to accommodate customers’ computing requirements, site and building conditions, project scale and delivery schedules.

The proposed facility is intended to support NVIDIA’s GB300 computing platform. Planning is based on Tier III data center standards, which are designed to permit maintenance without interrupting operations.

Brightray is targeting power usage effectiveness (PUE) below 1.2. That would mean using less than 20% additional energy for cooling, power distribution and other non-computing functions beyond the energy consumed by computing equipment.

Delivery target depends on an established schedule

Brightray said it intends to finish the U.S. project within one year after the implementation schedule is established. That target covers design finalization, permitting, international shipping, foundations, ancillary work, installation and commissioning.

The company has not disclosed the exact Indiana site, project partner, construction contractor or permitting status.

Brightray, an AI infrastructure industrialization company, is a 60%-owned subsidiary of BUUU Group Limited. Its LOI will expire 12 months after signing unless the parties replace it with a definitive agreement sooner.
