Record Notes
The "Data Center Valley" in Ekibastuz is a national priority project launched by Kazakhstan's Ministry of AI and Digital Development to create Central Asia’s largest AI hub. Spanning 1,400 hectares, the campus aims for a 1 GW capacity, leveraging low-cost energy from the adjacent Ekibastuz GRES-1 and GRES-2 power plants.
