3. Backup and Resilience:
The facility will include Large-scale battery storage systems and gas turbines capable of green hydrogen operation (up to ~48 hours autonomous operation).
4. Data Centre Type:
The project is planned as an AI-optimised, hyperscale data centre campus
5. Cooling Systems:
Cooling will rely on Advanced liquid cooling
6. Power Density:
The infrastructure has a density of 50 kW per rack
7. Rack Configuration:
The facility will support a custom AI-optimised rack
