Switch Datacenters to Build 90MW Data Centre in Warsaw
Switch Datacenters has finalised land acquisition and secured all necessary permits to begin construction on a new 90MW data centre campus in Warsaw, Poland.
The move marks the company’s first facility outside the Netherlands and signals a broader push to expand sustainable digital infrastructure across Europe.
The new campus, referred to as WAW1, will be built in the Mory district of Warsaw. Designed with scalability in mind, the initial phase will deliver 90MW of IT power, with the potential to exceed 100MW in future phases.
The site will support high-density AI workloads alongside more traditional cloud and compute applications.
“This is a momentous day for Switch Datacenters and a testament to our commitment to expanding our European reach and serving our clients' evolving needs,” says Gregor Snip, Founder of Switch Datacenters.
“Securing both land and permits for our Poland project marks our first international expansion outside the Netherlands.
“Poland's strategic location, robust digital economy, growing demand for advanced data solutions, and willingness to develop more sustainably make it an ideal market for our next-generation facilities. We are excited to bring our expertise, innovative design and sustainable approach to the region.”
Supporting AI and cloud growth in Central Europe
The Warsaw data centre will be equipped to meet the needs of modern IT infrastructure with support for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems.
Switch Datacenters will use hybrid dry cooling technology to maintain energy efficiency while offering the flexibility required by hyperscale clients, cloud providers and AI-focused deployments.
The company intends for the site to operate as a wholesale colocation facility, providing critical infrastructure for cloud adoption, big data analytics and AI model training.
Its modular design will enable staged deployment to meet evolving demand while maintaining sustainability standards.
The facility will also integrate with local renewable energy sources, aligning with Switch Datacenters’ broader commitment to carbon-conscious operations. These efficiency and sustainability features are expected to make the site one of the most advanced in the region.
Roland de Vries, Director at Switch Datacenters and lead on the Warsaw project, says: “We are incredibly proud to officially announce the commencement of our project in Poland.
"Local authorities and partners have been instrumental in reaching this stage, and we look forward to fostering strong, long-term relationships within the community.
“This will not only provide essential sustainable digital infrastructure but also create significant local employment opportunities and contribute to the region's economic growth.”
Local partnerships underpin regional rollout
The successful planning phase of the WAW1 project has relied on support from both private investors and public bodies.
Key contributors include Maciej Kowalski, Founder of Regenate Group, who has helped coordinate local engagement, and Han de Groot from the De Groot Family Office (DGFO), which is supporting the project as an investment partner.
Maciej highlights the regional need for AI-capable digital infrastructure: “The Polish digital ecosystem has grown rapidly over the last few years and needs advanced, AI-ready infrastructure to continue that pace of growth.
"Switch Datacenters has proven to be an excellent partner, with engineering teams at the technological forefront of sustainable data centre innovation.”
The Municipality of Ożarów Mazowiecki has also supported the project, facilitating the permitting process and promoting cooperation with local stakeholders.
Construction to begin early 2026
The first phase of construction is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with the site expected to be operational by early 2027.
Once live, the Warsaw campus will play a central role in supporting enterprise and cloud transformation across Central and Eastern Europe.
For Switch Datacenters, the Warsaw build is a critical step in expanding its European footprint.
With rising demand for AI infrastructure, regulatory-compliant colocation and sustainable build practices, the company is positioning itself as a key partner for next-generation digital infrastructure across the region.
