According to a number of local press reports, Kazakhstan expects to launch the first facility at Data Centre Valley, a large data centre campus in the country’s northeast, in the summer of 2027. The first 50 MW facility is reportedly under construction and due to enter service in June 2027. The site is ultimately planned to expand to as much as 1 GW. The Times of Central Asia says the project is aimed not only at domestic demand: Kazakhstan wants to attract foreign technology companies and is also exploring the possibility of hosting data belonging to other countries. The first data centre is already under construction in the Pavlodar region in the northeast, one of Kazakhstan’s main energy-producing areas. Indeed, access to electricity is an important reason for the appeal of Pavlodar [as we reported earlier this year](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/energy-sustainability/19664-coal-in-kazakhstan-solar-in-dubai-diverse-data-centre-power-plans.html?highlight=WyJrYXpha2hzdGFuIl0=); it’s home to Ekibastuz, one of Kazakhstan’s largest power-generation centres, with a vast coal basin and major power plants. A 215 MW substation has been acquired to supply the data centre valley with electricity. The campus is expected to expand gradually as customers are secured. Data centres, GPU clusters for AI, and cloud services are likely to be hosted at the site. Among the project’s foreign partners is US-based Firebird AI, which works with Nvidia and has [made clear its ambition](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/data-centres-networks/20660-firebird-launches-nvidia-powered-300mw-ai-data-centre-in-armenia.html?highlight=WyJrYXpha2hzdGFuIl0=) to pursue an AI infrastructure roadmap spanning Armenia, Kazakhstan and additional markets. It’s also been announced that the Kazakhstan telecommunications and satellite operator Astel is scheduled to launch its new Freedom Cloud Almaty (FCA) data centre in the capital Almaty in June 2027. Other companies targeting this market include GK Hyperscale, a Singapore-based data centre infrastructure and development company, which plans to build two data centres in the Akmola and the Karaganda regions, both in the centre of the country, with a reported combined capacity of 200 MW. SuperX AI Technology, which develops AI infrastructure solutions and high-density data centres and is also a Singapore company, is apparently considering a phased AI computing park with potential capacity of up to 1 GW. ```json { "@context": "http:\/\/schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "author": { "@id": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/#vaughan_o_grady_640e701a34" }, "dateModified": "2026-08-19T10:44:23Z", "datePublished": "2026-08-19T10:44:23Z", "description": "According to a number of local press reports, Kazakhstan expects to launch the first facility at Data Centre Valley, a large data centre campus in the country’s northeast, in the summer of 2027.", "headline": "Kazakhstan’s Data Centre Valley to launch in mid 2027", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/images\/stories\/Places\/almaty_golden_hour_600.jpg", "caption": "", "description": "Kazakhstan’s Data Centre Valley to launch in mid 2027", "width": 600, "height": 450 } ], "inLanguage": "en-GB", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/telecom-technology\/data-centres-networks\/20700-kazakhstans-data-centre-valley-to-launch-in-mid-2027.html" }, "publisher": { "@id": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/#defaultPublisher" }, "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/telecom-technology\/data-centres-networks\/20700-kazakhstans-data-centre-valley-to-launch-in-mid-2027.html" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Vaughan O'Grady", "@id": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/#vaughan_o_grady_640e701a34" }, { "@id": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/#defaultPublisher", "@type": "Organization", "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/", "logo": { "@id": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/#defaultLogo" }, "name": "Developing Telecoms" }, { "@id": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/#defaultLogo", "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https:\/\/developingtelecoms.com\/images\/stories\/highResLogos\/dt-site-logo-440.png", "width": "440", "height": "122" } ] } ```
