Belgian real estate firm Warehouses De Pauw (WDP) is considering building two new data centers in Ilfov County, southern Romania.
According to Profit.ro, which broke the story, the facilities would be built in an industrial park owned by the firm in the commune of Ștefăneștii de Jos.

While the project's IT compute capacity has not been disclosed, a combined grid connection agreement of 380MW has already been approved for the development.
If developed, the two data centers are expected to open by 2030. According to reporting by Profit.ro, Lamas Invest, a firm owned by WDP Romania’s country manager, Jeroen Biermans, will co-develop the overall project. To support the power consumption requirements of both facilities, a 220kV transformer station is likely to be built in Ștefăneștii de Jos to connect the project to the nearby Fundeni-Brazi Vest 1 overhead power line.
