(Reuters) -French utility EDF and OpCore, a joint venture between telecoms group Iliad and InfraVia Capital Partners, have entered exclusive negotiations to develop a hyperscale data centre on the site of EDF’s former coal-fired plant at Montereau-Vallee-de-la-Seine, the companies said on Monday.
The project, expected to cost around 4 billion euros, would create one of Europe’s largest computing hubs with several hundred megawatts of capacity.
A first phase is scheduled to come online in 2027 under France’s fast-track grid connection scheme.
