Overview
- Groundbreaking was held on November 17 in Lübbenau with Federal Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger present, marking the start of a six‑module, 13‑hectare build.
- The campus is planned for about 200 megawatts with a staged rollout, targeting initial capacities in late 2027 and accommodating up to roughly 100,000 GPUs.
- Schwarz says the facility will operate on renewable power in regular operation, with server heat feeding the local district network to supply up to 75,000 households from 2028.
- Repurposing a former coal power plant site with intact grid and fiber connections, the center is designed primarily for the group’s own workloads, with services available to external clients.
- Executives call the €11 billion commitment the company’s largest single investment, with no state funding disclosed and most spending devoted to IT infrastructure rather than construction.
