The contractor is already nearing completion of the first phase of what will be a 100MW datacentre campus development, with the first of three planned multi-storey datacentre buildings due for completion in early 2024.
The second phase now sees ISG build an identical three-storey 30MW datacentre building at the campus, with full handover expected in 2025.聽聽The contract for this phase is understood to be worth in excess of 拢150m.
Phase three, which has yet to be awarded will be even bigger, at 40MW.
