German startup plans 30-megawatt AI data centre in boost to sovereign control
German startup Polarise plans to build a new 30-megawatt artificial intelligence data centre that would double Germany’s domestically-run computing capacity as European nations push to gain more control over critical tech infrastructure.
The facility, set to come online in the Bavarian town of Amberg in mid-2027, could eventually expand to 120 MW, the company told Reuters.
AI data centres in Germany boasted total capacity of 530 MW at the end of last year, according to figures from German lobby group Bitkom. Much of that, however, was operated by non-German providers.
