AAIM Data Center: Nebraska Data Center
About Nebraska Data Center
AAIM Nebraska 1 Data Center in Hastings, Nebraska is a 12.5 MW colocation facility built for high-performance computing, AI, advanced data processing, and energy-intensive digital infrastructure. The facility is part of AAIM Data Centers’ Midwest platform and is designed to support customers that need large-scale power availability, managed operations, and infrastructure optimized for dense compute environments.
The facility’s most distinctive infrastructure feature is its privately owned 67kV substation, described by AAIM as Nebraska’s first privately owned substation of its type for a data center project. This power architecture gives Nebraska 1 direct control over high-voltage electrical infrastructure and supports the site’s 12.5 MW operating target. AAIM’s broader platform includes in-house design, engineering, operations, remote hands, and tailored infrastructure for crypto mining, AI, HPC, and enterprise data needs.
The Hastings location positions Nebraska 1 in central Nebraska with access to regional power resources, Midwest land availability, and a developing digital infrastructure market. The site is located near Central Nebraska Regional Airport, Grand Island, Adams County, Aurora, and major Nebraska transportation corridors, giving operators a lower-density market alternative to larger metropolitan data center hubs. AAIM’s Nebraska program also builds on earlier Nebraska activity around Aurora and expands the company’s role in Midwest high-density compute infrastructure.
