  • Karratha/Maitland is in the set because of gas, LNG, industrial land and port — the same industrial-energy hypothesis as Boodarie, with less evidenced digital infrastructure than Port Hedland's PH1 + Horizon story.
  • Depth is preliminary on purpose.

Why here

  • Gas and LNG industrial system.
  • Strategic industrial land.
  • Pilbara energy frontier.

What is missing

  • Almost every verified MW, fibre and water figure.
  • A proponent.

Workload fit

  • Industrial / mining AIConditionalLNG and industrial users are the plausible demand.
  • AI training / HPCUnknownEnergy exists in the region. Surplus for training is not shown.
  • Edge / regionalConditionalPossible at small MW. Not evidenced.
  • Cloud / hyperscaleFailsNot an AZ geography on current evidence.
  • AI inferenceFailsWrong population geography.
  • Sovereign / defenceUnknownNot evidenced.

Energy

Required for scale

  • 100 MWUnverified

    Dedicated generation and water.

Fibre

Weaker evidenced digital story than Port Hedland PH1.

  • Perth: 22 ms · Estimate.
  • Singapore: — ms · Not measured.

Thermal / hazards

Hot Pilbara.

Same rule as Hedland: price the penalty; do not veto the geography a priori.

Cyclone: Design-level.

Risk

  • demand

    This object is deliberately thinner than Lansdown, Liddell and Weddell. Depth is the risk.
