Powering the digital future of North Queensland, the Latan Data Centre will provide world class, agile computing infrastructure powered by green renewable energy.
AEWC’s vision will see the construction of a modular data centre alongside a purpose-built renewable energy and energy storage hub to provide reliable digital infrastructure services to North Queensland and the broader Northern Australia.
Located 24km from the town of Charters Towers, the Latan property is well separated from higher risk cyclone and flood zones, yet it is in close proximity to existing and diverse backbone communications and boasts an abundance of tropical sunshine.
The innovative design and engineering behind the project will deliver a zero-emissions, zero-water data centre with high levels of energy efficiency, in-part due to the on-site production and storage of energy.
As an edge computing facility, the Latan Data Centre will meet the needs of Northern Australia customers with low-latency, high bandwidth and sovereign data requirements while not compromising on environmental standards.
The modular nature of the facility will allow it to scale with customer demand in each data market segment providing maximum value for customers and maximum return to its investors.
Developed in stages, the Data Centre will scale to an ultimate capacity of 5MW and the solar farm to a capacity of 50MW. Construction of the $161M project is planned to commence in 2023.
Regional benefits will include:
- $161M regional investment
- Construction jobs
- Direct and indirect local and regional employment opportunities; and
- Local and regional contractor and supply opportunities.
AEWC is proud to support the transformation of Northern Australia with the Latan Data Centre as a foundation element of its digital economy future.
