Moro Hub Green Data Centre (Warsan Campus)

Status: Phase 1: Under Construction; Phase 2: Approved (Today)   |   Location: Warsan, Dubai

Project Overview

The Moro Hub Green Data Centre in Warsan, Dubai, represents a landmark achievement in the convergence of sustainable energy and high-performance digital infrastructure. Officially moving into its second phase as of January 2026, this facility is the fourth green data center in Moro Hub's portfolio, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a global leader in the green economy and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Strategic Vision and Sustainability At its core, the Warsan Campus is a physical manifestation of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050. Developed by Moro Hub (a subsidiary of Digital DEWA), the facility is designed to be 100% solar-powered. By integrating directly with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA) renewable energy grid, the center drastically reduces the carbon footprint typically associated with hyperscale data processing. It is estimated that once fully operational, the campus will help offset thousands of tons of $CO_{2}$ annually, contributing to Dubai’s goal of providing 75% of its total power capacity from clean energy sources. Technical Prowess and AI Readiness The project spans an impressive 66,000 square meters and is engineered to deliver a total IT capacity exceeding 100 MW. What sets the Warsan facility apart from traditional data centers is its "AI-ready" architecture. As global demand for generative AI and large language models (LLMs) surges, the center provides the specialized cooling and power density required for high-performance computing (HPC). Key technical features include: Tier III Certification: Ensuring 99.982% availability and concurrent maintainability. Modular Construction: Utilizing advanced prefabricated modules to accelerate deployment timelines and reduce construction waste. Advanced Cooling: The facility is designed for high-density racks, incorporating liquid cooling readiness to support the latest generation of AI chips (such as NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture or Intel’s Xeon 6 processors). Ultra-Low PUE: With a target Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.15, the center is among the most efficient in the EMEA region. Economic and Digital Impact The Warsan Campus is a critical pillar for the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy by 2033. By providing a local, sovereign cloud environment, it ensures that sensitive data for government entities and private enterprises remains within the UAE, complying with strict data residency regulations. This "sovereign cloud" capability, combined with ultra-low local latency (typically <3 ms), makes it the preferred hub for hyperscalers like Microsoft and Google to host their regional nodes. The expansion approved today ensures that as the UAE transitions from a consumer to a creator of advanced technology, the necessary "digital fuel"—green, scalable, and secure data capacity—is readily available. With vacancy rates in the UAE data center market hitting record lows of 2.4% in late 2025, the Warsan project provides much-needed inventory for the next wave of global tech giants looking to establish a sustainable footprint in the Middle East.
