DataVolt, a developer and operator of sustainable digital infrastructure, has partnered with The Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) to develop an AI-Ready data center in Riyadh. The 55,000 square meter plot, located in east Riyadh’s First Technology Park, will serve the growing demand for hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises in Saudi Arabia.
The new facility will feature cutting-edge cooling systems and utilize advanced circularity approaches for sustainability, powered by optimized energy solutions. The development aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, reinforcing the country’s goal of becoming a global leader in AI and digital infrastructure.
Rajit Nanda, CEO of DataVolt, emphasized that the project supports the government’s economic diversification and sustainability efforts. “We are providing mission-critical digital infrastructure that will support KSA’s position as a global leader in AI,” said Nanda. “This project directly aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and the goal of diversification and sustainability.”
DataVolt’s investors and team have previously developed and operated over 20GW of renewable energy assets across nine countries, deploying scalable, cost-effective solutions. The company’s approach increases operational efficiencies, reduces carbon emissions, and enables customers to meet sustainability goals.
“The opportunity in artificial intelligence is accelerating,” Nanda noted, “and we are focused on enabling AI innovation while minimizing its environmental impact. We are committed to delivering trusted, sustainable data center facilities that contribute to a cleaner and greener digital economy.”
This development is part of DataVolt’s $5 billion investment in Saudi Arabia, supporting the Kingdom’s ambitious digital infrastructure goals and enhancing its AI and sustainability capabilities.
