Norwegian data center Green Mountain, owned by Azrieli Group Ltd., has reached an agreement with energy company KMW to establish a new 54 MW data center site in Mainz, Germany.

Both companies have a 50% stake in the new joint venture. The data center will be supported by renewables from KMW’s portfolio and operated to high sustainability standards.

Three data centre buildings are planned for the new 25,000 sqm site situated in an already existing industrial area adjacent to KMW’s power plants. The Mainz authorities have approved the building application and construction will start in Q3 2023. The site can support both multi-tenant contracts as well as dedicated buildings for larger client installations.

Taylor Wessing  advised Green Mountain, led by partner  Daniel Ajzensztejn, with support from senior counsel Nathan Krapivensky.
