The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Company believes that the main factors leading to the execution of this MOU were Verda's assessment of the Tomakomai AI Data Center's stable power supply environment, high cooling efficiency resulting from its cool climate and potential to expand supply capacity in the future. The expansion of AI demand, which has made securing computing infrastructure an important management issue for AI cloud service providers, is also a factor behind the agreement.
