Dubai-based Khazna Data Centers is boosting its UAE AI and cloud hosting presence <\/strong>with two new data centers<\/strong>, according to a press release (pdf)<\/a>. The two facilities \u2014 AUH4 in Mafraq and AUH8 in Masdar City \u2014 will add a combined 60 MW in cloud hosting capacity. AUH4 is slated to be completed in December 2026, while AUH8 is set to come online in Auguist of the same year.<\/p>\n

We knew this was coming: <\/strong>Last year, Khazna signed a Musataha agreement<\/a> to develop a 30 MW data center in Mafraq, and later in the year<\/a> CEO Hassan Al Naqbi said the firm was eyeing two additional 30 MW data centers.<\/p>\n

ALSO- Timeline update on Ajman Data Center: <\/strong>The initial project phase of the 100 MW QAJ1 center in Ajman is set to come online in December 2026, the press release said. The new date is a push back from an earlier 3Q 2025<\/a> completion date. The center will be equipped with liquid cooling and AI-powered energy management systems.<\/p>\n

The company is capitalizing on \u201cunprecedented capacity demand,\u201d<\/strong> as the UAE-wide data center capacity is projected to double to 850 MW by 2029, CEO Hassan Al Naqbi previously told The National<\/a>. Khazna currently holds a 74% market share, with 24 data centers live and eight more under construction.<\/p>\n

\u2026and it shows<\/strong>, with recent projects including the launch of a 31.8 MW AI-focused facility<\/a> in Masdar City, a partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise<\/a> to establish a direct-liquid cooled data center, and a Tier III project in Sharjah. It is also looking to further expand regionally<\/a>, with a USD 250 mn data center in Egypt, projects in Saudi Arabia, and potential expansion into Turkey and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- <\/strong>The company recently had a shareholder reshuffle, which saw e& divest its stake<\/a> in Khazna to the tune of USD 2.2 bn, while Abu Dhabi\u2019s AI fund MGX and private equity firm Silver Lake picked up minority stakes<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
