STACK Infrastructure: A Commitment to Green Data Centres
STACK Infrastructure (STACK) has issued US$240m in green securitised notes, as part of efforts to better empower its clients to address challenges.
The digital infrastructure partner and data centre operator has closed this amount in its latest green structured debt financing round. It is currently the lowest blended spread over the treasury rate of any data centre issuer since October 2021.
This represents the fourth securitisation programme funding event for STACK within the past 12 months and eighth since 2019. It highlights a continued commitment by the company to do more for its clients and ensure sustainable growth.

STACK had a record-breaking year in 2023 which saw the company continue to expand its capacity across the Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions. As a result, the company continues to be a leading data centre operator as it sets standards for cloud providers and innovators to remain flexible.
The company also offers scalable space and power to some of the most well-known hyperscalers worldwide. All of its data centres are focused on running 100% sustainably with renewable energy. It is also able to offer scalable solutions to drive its own expansion, in addition to that of its clients.
