Author: Aayushya Ranjan

DataVolt and MODON partner to develop a sustainable AI-ready data center in Riyadh, supporting Saudi Vision 2030’s digital and environmental goals.

DataVolt, a developer, investor, and operator of sustainable digital infrastructure, and The Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) have agreed land lease terms for the development of a state-of-the-art AI-Ready data center in Riyadh. The 55,000 square meter plot is located in east Riyadh’s First Technology Park. The data center facility will be designed for advanced AI processing and will serve growing demand from hyperscalers, cloud and content providers, and enterprises in the KSA.

DataVolt will build a sustainable data center facility on the plot with cutting-edge cooling systems, and with an advance circularity approach. The data center facility will also be powered by optimized energy solutions.

We are providing mission-critical digital infrastructure that will support the KSA’s position as a global leader in AI while offering customers sustainable data center solutions. Over many months, we have worked in collaboration with MODON to develop this project and we are proud to move forward and deliver another state-of-the-art facility. Every step we take directly aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and supports the government’s goal of diversification and sustainability across the economy and society as a whole.

DataVolt’s investors and team have successfully developed and operated over 20GW of renewable energy assets across nine countries, deploying scalable and cost-effective solutions. Its unique approach increases operational efficiencies, reduces carbon emissions, and enables customers to grow their digital footprint while meeting sustainability goals.

The opportunity in artificial intelligence is accelerating and we are focused on both enabling AI innovation while ensuring we minimize its impact on the environment. We have the technology, expertise, and talent to deliver trusted sustainable data center facilities and ensure that society benefits from a cleaner and greener digital economy.

– Rajit Nanda, CEO, DataVolt

DataVolt has demonstrated its technical, development, delivery and operational capabilities as part of the assessment process to deliver sustainable, high performance data centers.
