DataVolt has signed a land lease agreement with the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) to develop an AI-ready data center in Riyadh. The facility will be built on a 55,000-square-meter (592,000-square-foot) plot in First Technology Park in east Riyadh. Designed to support hyperscalers, cloud and content providers, and enterprises, the facility will integrate advanced cooling systems and optimized energy solutions to enhance sustainability.
The project is part of DataVolt’s $5 billion investment in Saudi Arabia’s digital infrastructure and aligns with the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative. DataVolt has developed over 20GW of renewable energy assets across nine countries, focusing on sustainable data center operations. The new facility will incorporate a circularity approach to reduce carbon emissions and improve operational efficiency.
