Portugal to become data centre hub connecting Europe, Americas and Africa (in Portugal Conect)

Start Campus, a joint venture of Davidson Kempner Capital Management and Pioneer Point Partners, has announced an investment of €3.5 billion to develop the Sines 4.0 hyperscaler data centre, located in Portugal’s Alentejo region, in Sines Tech, to connect Europe with the Americas and Africa.

Claimed to be the largest renewable data centre campus in Europe with up to 450MW of capacity, Sines 4.0 will create 1,200 jobs and is designed to seamlessly handle ever-growing demand for streaming services, video conferencing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and data storage, according to the project’s backers.

Sines was chosen as the location for the new facility primarily due to its easy access to competitive renewable energy including solar, wind, hydro and (in the future) hydrogen, as well as its connectivity to the national power grid. Other benefits cited by Start Campus include scalability via land options, as well as cooling that is low-cost, high-efficiency and environmentally-friendly via existing facilities using ocean water, to keep servers at optimal temperatures. The project will also leverage Sines and Portugal’s strategic geographical position at the edge of Europe.
