Data4 StableCo: A European Hyperscale Data Center Platform

Data4 StableCo is a strategic digital infrastructure platform created through the carve-out of Data4, the French pioneer in hyperscale data centers. Leveraging Data4’s proven expertise, StableCo is positioned to address Europe’s growing demand for digital infrastructure and data sovereignty while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and operational excellence.

A Strategic Asset at the Heart of Digital Transformation

Data4 StableCo brings together a portfolio of hyperscale data centers located in Paris, Milan, and Madrid, with a total capacity of 244 MW. These mission-critical facilities support the rapidly expanding computing demand, providing ultra-fast connectivity, high reliability, and resilient infrastructure. The majority of capacity is secured through long-term contracts with leading hyperscale customers, underpinning stable and predictable cash flows.

High Barriers to Entry and Competitive Positioning

The data center sector is characterized by significant structural barriers to entry, including limited land availability, lengthy permitting processes, power supply constraints, and high technical complexity. In Europe, securing and upgrading grid connections for new developments can take up to 15 years, creating a substantial competitive advantage for established operators. StableCo benefits from a leading market position in its core geographies, with strategically located campuses in high-demand metropolitan areas and strong growth prospects driven by increasing demand for cloud services and AI-related computing capacity.

Sustainable Growth and ESG Commitment

Data4 is pursuing an ambitious net-zero strategy validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Key sustainability objectives include:

  • Achieving a target Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of below 1.2 for new data centres by 2030, representing best-in-class energy efficiency.
  • Supplying operations with 100% renewable electricity through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
  • Implementing comprehensive ESG policies covering corporate governance, responsible supply chain management, and environmental impact reduction.

Through its combination of critical digital infrastructure, strong market positioning, and robust sustainability commitments, Data4 StableCo is well positioned to benefit from the long-term growth of Europe’s digital economy.
