This development will adhere to the existing supplementary development plan, according to a company press release.The project will include data center facilities and additional space for industrial and commercial activities. Publicly accessible green spaces are also part of the plan. Green intends to work with the municipality of Birr and the canton of Aargau to identify suitable uses for the site.Roger Süess, CEO, Green, stated that the company recognised the importance of data centers for the country’s digital development. He added that Green aims to continue its pioneering work with the Birr campus. Süess also mentioned the company’s long-standing connection to the region.The planned data centers will use closed-loop cooling systems. These systems circulate water without consuming it. Green also plans to make waste heat from the facilities available for industrial processes and district heating networks. The campus could also provide tertiary balancing power to help stabilise the Swiss electricity grid.The acquisition allows Green to expand its data center capacity. This expansion addresses growing demand for local digital infrastructure. It also supports Switzerland’s digital sovereignty and reduces reliance on external infrastructure.
