UAE Tops Regional Data Center Investments
The S&P Global agency expects the UAE and Saudi Arabia to lead investments in data centers and artificial intelligence until 2030, with each adding approximately 2 to 3 gigawatts of IT energy, accounting for over 80% of the regional share. The "Stargate" project in Abu Dhabi, with an intended capacity of 5 gigawatts, is one of the most prominent Emirati initiatives to enhance sovereign capabilities and national computing, involving a coalition of global technology companies. Factors such as digital sovereignty, declining energy costs, and supportive local regulations are driving increased demand for data centers, as the region continues to build a robust infrastructure to accommodate the growth of artificial intelligence.
