Khazna Data Centers expands into Türkiye to construct AI capable data centre
Infrastructure Khazna Data Centers expands into Türkiye to construct AI capable data centre By The new data centre in Ankara is designed to host various workloads, including AI, cloud, and critical applications Khazna Data Centers (Khazna) has announced its plans to construct an AI-capable data centre in Türkiye. This data centre will have the potential to handle a capacity of up to 100MW, and it has secured a site in Başkent, OIZ, Ankara. This announcement comes after a surge in interest and investment in AI within the country. Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Index for 2025 revealed a remarkable 198% increase in AI talent concentration in Türkiye between 2016 and 2024. Moreover, this development follows the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and strategic agreements worth over US $50bn between the UAE and Türkiye in 2023. With the increasing global expansion of hyperscale data centres, Khazna will serve as the foundation layer for the digital infrastructure by empowering governments, businesses, and societies, Khazna ensures that these entities can thrive in the digital age. Their data centres are designed to handle the high-density computing demands essential for the next-generation AI-powered applications to drive the future economy. The new data centre in Ankara has been designed with the flexibility to host a variety of workloads, ranging from AI to cloud and other critical applications. While the first phase will constitute a cloud-focused design, the modular facility can be expanded and adapted to meet evolving demands across diverse technological requirements, ensuring robust support for future innovations. Like Khazna's other facilities, the new data centre in Ankara will be built to maximise operational efficiency. The design will incorporate features to enhance energy efficiency and minimise environmental impact. These include the use of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants that do not contain Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, and the use of low-carbon and recycled materials. Additionally, the facility will explore the use of solar water heating systems, as well as employ high-efficiency adiabatic chillers that maximise the use of free cooling where possible. The design also incorporates systems for re-using wastewater and generators capable of running on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel, further reducing the facility's carbon footprint. Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centers added, 'We're proud to be supporting the efforts being made in Türkiyeto create an advanced economy with AI at its heart, and we hope to be able to provide the foundation layer for this. We believe this data centre will add to the country's impressive economic growth, encouraging innovation and accelerating digital transformation.' Saeed Thani Hareb Al Dhaheri, Ambassador of UAE to Türkiye commented, 'Khazna Data Centers' expansion into Türkiye is a testament to the deepening ties between our countries. Relations with Türkiye are of great importance within the UAE's strategy to strengthen its partnerships, expand its relations and reinforce bridges of cooperation in all fields.' Khazna is due to appoint a general contractor in Q2 2025 following this facility's completion, intends to continue investing in Türkiye and expanding its data centre network.
