Capacity
AirTrunk has announced plans for a 40 MW hyperscale data centre campus in Auckland, its first facility in New Zealand. The NZ$280 million investment capitalises on New Zealand's 82% renewable electricity grid and growing demand from cloud providers seeking sustainable infrastructure.
The campus, located in South Auckland, will be powered almost entirely by renewable energy from New Zealand's geothermal and hydroelectric sources. AirTrunk's entry into the New Zealand market follows announcements from Microsoft and AWS, confirming Auckland's emergence as a significant Asia-Pacific data centre destination.
New Zealand's clean energy advantage, combined with a stable regulatory environment and skilled workforce, positions it as a premium sustainable data centre market - albeit one constrained by relatively limited grid capacity compared to Australian markets.
