Wirth Group's planned hyperscale data centre campus in Philippsburg, Germany — leveraging former nuclear power plant grid infrastructure for large-scale AI and cloud workloads.
The Wirth Group Hyperscale Data Centre in Philippsburg, Germany is a major data centre campus development by the Wirth Group, a German real estate and infrastructure developer with a growing focus on digital infrastructure. Located in Philippsburg in the state of Baden-Württemberg, the campus is designed to offer hyperscale-level capacity serving the German and broader European market's rapidly growing demand for AI and cloud infrastructure.
Philippsburg offers strategic advantages for data centre development, including access to high-voltage power grid connections from the former Philippsburg nuclear power plant site and renewable energy from the region's extensive wind and solar installations. The site's power infrastructure makes it one of the most capable locations for large-scale compute-intensive workloads in Germany, supporting both AI training clusters and traditional enterprise data centre operations.
The Wirth Group project represents Germany's ambition to develop sovereign, large-scale digital infrastructure capacity to serve European hyperscalers and cloud providers seeking to establish or expand German operations. The project is seeking co-investment from German institutional investors as part of a broader strategy to develop domestically controlled hyperscale infrastructure.
