CDC Data Centres is planning its first project in Western Australia, with a 200-megawatt high density facility to tap AUKUS-driven demand for computing power to support artificial intelligence and security needs in the state.
The Canberra-based company, in which investors Future Fund and ASX-listed Infratil acquired an additional 12 per cent stake from Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation in February for $2.05 billion, said it would spend $415 million on the first stage of the data centre in Maddington, 20 kilometres south-east of central Perth. The centre will be operational in 2026.
