VIRTUS Reaches Major Power Infrastructure Milestone at Wustermark Hyperscale Campus

Berlin, Germany - June 1, 2026 - VIRTUS Data Centres has completed the installation of two of Europe’s largest super-grid transformers at its Wustermark campus in Brandenburg, marking a major infrastructure milestone for one of Germany’s largest hyperscale data center developments.

The transformers, each weighing approximately 340 tonnes, are designed to provide large-scale power capacity to support the growing demands of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure workloads. Their installation forms a critical part of the campus’ long-term energy strategy as VIRTUS expands its presence in the Berlin metropolitan region.

Located west of Berlin, the Wustermark campus is being developed as a hyperscale-ready data center hub capable of supporting high-density computing environments. The project is expected to play a crucial role in addressing the growing demand for AI and cloud infrastructure across Germany and Europe.

According to VIRTUS, the newly installed transformers are among the largest deployed for a European data center project enabling the site to access substantial grid capacity while supporting future expansion phases. The equipment converts electricity from the transmission network into the voltage levels required for large-scale data center operations, serving as a key link between national power infrastructure and digital infrastructure.

The delivery and installation process required extensive logistical planning due to the size and weight of the transformers. Transporting the units involved specialized heavy-load vehicles and close coordination with infrastructure authorities, utility partners, and engineering teams.

The Wustermark development is part of VIRTUS’ broader strategy to establish major hyperscale campuses in key European markets. As AI adoption accelerates and cloud providers continue expanding regional capacity, access to large-scale power infrastructure has become one of the most important factors influencing data center development.

Industry-wide, operators are increasingly competing for grid connections and power availability as next-generation AI workloads drive unprecedented electricity demand. Large transformer installations such as those deployed at Wustermark are becoming a critical component of data center planning, particularly for campuses designed to support high-density AI clusters and future compute expansion.

VIRTUS said the project reflects its commitment to building resilient, scalable infrastructure capable of meeting the requirements of hyperscale customers. The company continues to invest in power systems, connectivity, and sustainable infrastructure as it expands capacity across Europe.

The transformer installation represents one of the most significant power infrastructure milestones completed at the Wustermark campus to date and moves the development closer to supporting the next generation of AI, cloud, and high-performance computing workloads. As power availability increasingly defines the pace of data center growth, projects such as Wustermark highlight the growing convergence of energy infrastructure and digital infrastructure across Europe.
