Mousterian
Water-adjacent and floating data centres. Liquid-cooled, >200 kW/rack, zero municipal water claimed. Samsung Heavy Industries engineering partner. 50 MW IT per moored unit in the 2026 contract.
No Australian project in this seed. Australian pads are screened as candidates only.

50 MW is a published unit size, not an Australian MW. Project Zeus (~500 MW Houston) and Sandpiper (~860 MW San Jose) are US plans. Zero Australian energised MW.

Why watch
- The floating / zero-municipal-water architecture DataSentinel already tests against Australian waterfront pads.
- Factory/shipyard construction is the schedule thesis — unverified in Australia.
What is missing
- An Australian site, consent, and grid or generation path.
