Data4 has begun operations at its second data centre on its campus in Jawczyce, near Warsaw. The new building has an IT capacity of 10 MW and forms part of the company’s phased expansion of the site in the municipality of Ożarów Mazowiecki.
The project follows the launch of the first facility in 2023 and reflects the company’s continued rollout in Poland. Data4 has invested around €200 million in the country to date and plans to increase this to approximately €600 million by 2030. The wider campus is being developed on a 4-hectare site and is expected to reach a total capacity of 60 MW, with around 50,000 square metres of gross floor area.
Demand for digital infrastructure in Poland is rising, supported by the expansion of cloud services and artificial intelligence. Industry estimates suggest that total data centre capacity in the country could grow from roughly 300 MW today to close to 500 MW by the end of the decade, with a growing share linked to AI-related workloads.
Andrzej Domański said: “Poland is already a leader in Central and Eastern Europe, accounting for over a third of the region’s data centre capacity. We want to continue actively strengthening the competitiveness and technological sovereignty of Poland and Europe. In a world where data and computing power are becoming critical resources, digital infrastructure supports both the economy and national security. Investments such as this one in Jawczyce create space for Polish companies to adopt modern solutions and catch up on their digital backlog.”
The campus is being developed in stages, with the second building aligning with the broader expansion plan. Adam Ponichtera said: “The expansion of the campus in Jawczyce is a clear signal that Poland remains one of Data4’s key markets in Europe. We are developing our infrastructure in a phased and predictable manner, combining high technical standards with a responsible approach to the environment and cooperation with the local community in the municipality of Ożarów Mazowiecki. A stable technological infrastructure is now a prerequisite for the further development of the digital economy.”
At group level, Olivier Micheli added: “The launch of another building on our campus in Poland is of strategic importance to us. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and cloud services, digital infrastructure is becoming one of the cornerstones of the European economy’s competitiveness. That is why we are consistently expanding the Data4 campus network across Europe, responding to the growing demand for computing power.”
The new facility has been developed to meet BREEAM environmental standards and has received an ‘Excellent’ rating. It is also the first project within Data4’s European portfolio to be delivered under this certification framework. The building incorporates a modular construction approach, with a significant share of prefabricated components used during development.
Operational metrics from the first building indicate a power usage effectiveness level below 1.30, in line with industry targets set for the end of the decade. Water consumption levels are also reported to be below typical market benchmarks.
Beyond construction, the project includes cooperation with local authorities in Ożarów Mazowiecki. Planned initiatives include infrastructure upgrades in Jawczyce and support for local emergency services.
Paweł Kanclerz said: “The development of the Data4 campus in Jawczyce is an important investment for our municipality. We are delighted that this project not only strengthens the local infrastructure but also contributes to the region’s economic development. We appreciate the cooperation with the investor, which translates into concrete actions for the benefit of residents.”
