Kazakhstan Advances Data Centre Valley Development in Pavlodar

On 7 November, Kazakhstan's Prime Minister reviewed the Data Centre Valley project in Pavlodar Region. The first phase plans 304 MW of data-centre capacity, including a 68 MW facility progressing into foundation and infrastructure works, a 164 MW facility with excavation reported at 70% completion and a planned 72 MW facility. International analysts estimate potential annual export earnings of $3.1 billion, but this is a forecast rather than confirmed revenue. The project creates opportunities for data-centre operators, cloud providers, power infrastructure suppliers, cooling-system manufacturers and cybersecurity firms. HPC can support technology sourcing, international partnerships and digital infrastructure investment coordination.
