A large data center is being planned by a mystery developer outside the town of Wilhelmshaven in the region of Lower Saxony, northern Germany.
According to NWZ Online, which broke the story, the firm has proposed constructing a data center and an energy park in the nearby village of Sengwarden.

Though the precise purpose and compute power of the proposed facility has not been revealed, the overall cost of the project is estimated to run into the billions of euros. DCD has approached the town of Wilhelmshaven for comment.
Few additional details about the project have been released by the municipality, though NWZ Online said that the new data center would be built to connect to a district heating system. Details of the development were first revealed during a meeting of Wilhelmshaven’s Committee for Economic Affairs, Tourism and Ports, which included an agenda item about the sale of a plot of land through a concept-based framework.
