Data centre projects in South Australia
Updated
South Australia's data centre market is smaller than the eastern seaboard states, but it has characteristics that are attracting renewed interest. Adelaide's cooler climate reduces cooling energy demand, the state's high renewable penetration makes green power contracting relatively straightforward, and land and network costs are lower than in Sydney or Melbourne. For operators with flexibility on location – particularly those whose workloads don't require ultra-low latency to Sydney – South Australia presents an increasingly credible option, and the pipeline reflects that, with several facilities at various stages of planning and development.
