Hyperscale digital infrastructure specialist Khazna Data Centres (Khazna) has announced plans to expand its operational capacity by more than 1GW over the next five years.
Khazna says this significant scale-up reinforces its position as the UAE’s national digital infrastructure champion and marks a major acceleration of its international expansion.
More than 400MW of new capacity will be delivered in key international markets including Saudi Arabia, Italy and others, forming what the company calls a cornerstone of its vision to enable the infrastructure backbone for AI-driven digital economies.
Khazna says its facilities are engineered for the next generation of compute, designed to support high-density, low-latency AI workloads at scale while meeting ambitious sustainability standards.
Domestically, Khazna is currently developing several new projects, including hyperscale facilities in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ajman. It is also delivering the infrastructure layer for Stargate UAE, a next-generation AI infrastructure cluster that will run in the newly established 5-gigawatt UAE–US AI Campus in Abu Dhabi.
Khazna’s capacity pipeline is supported by a newly secured financing facility. In September it secured a US$2.62 billion financing facility to fuel its UAE and international growth plans. The financing deal was secured in partnership with two top UAE banks – Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB).
Khazna adds that it expansion is underpinned by a commitment to sustainability at every stage of design, build, and operation. All new facilities are engineered to LEED Gold standards, utilising advanced cooling systems, high recycled material content, and energy-efficient design principles.
The company adds that it modular construction methodology enables faster deployment with significantly reduced embodied carbon, construction waste, and potable water use – accelerating both climate impact reduction and time to market.
