Record Notes
SINES 4.0 SIN02 is a massive 180 MW expansion of the Start Campus hyperscale site in Sines, Portugal. Evolving into an "AI Gigafactory," the facility is designed to host over 12,000 next-generation NVIDIA GPUs for large-scale AI model training. The campus utilizes a unique seawater cooling system that repurposes infrastructure from a decommissioned coal plant, achieving a PUE of 1.1 and zero freshwater consumption. Powered by 100% renewable energy, SIN02 serves as a critical connectivity hub at the landing point of major transatlantic subsea cables like EllaLink. This project positions Portugal as a primary digital gateway, shifting European data gravity toward the Iberian Peninsula.
