Start Campus plans 1.2GW Sines data-centre campus
Start Campus is planning a data-centre campus in Sines with a projected capacity of 1.2 GW and an estimated €8.5 billion investment, Daniela Silva e Sousa told ECO. The project would rank among the largest foreign private investments in Portugal and could bring jobs and infrastructure demand to the Sines area; it will require regulatory, planning and environmental approvals. Local businesses and municipal authorities should monitor planning notices and community consultations.
