The data centre, which holds Uptime TIER III certificate and uses exclusively renewable energy, has a capacity of over 100 megawatts (MW). It will cover an area of more than 16,000 square metres.
Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director-General of Digital Dubai, described the project as “a shining example of Dubai’s path towards a sustainable future that takes environmental needs into account”.
