Australia’s operational data centre capacity is forecast to grow from ~1.4 GW in 2025 to ~3.2 GW by 2030, according to the Australian Data Centre Forecast Report by Data Centres Australia and DC Byte. What sets this forecast apart is its focus on deliverable capacity. It accounts for construction timelines, approvals, capital and ramp-up dynamics, cutting through inflated pipeline figures to show what is realistically expected to come online. That clarity matters. As demand accelerates, decisions across policy, investment and infrastructure planning rely on accurate signals, not theoretical supply. Growth is being led by Sydney and Melbourne, where larger-scale developments are reshaping how capacity is delivered at scale.

AI infrastructure does not fail because of demand. It fails when environments cannot sustain density as demand grows. Across Malaysia, many facilities were designed for traditional enterprise workloads. When GPU density rises, power, cooling and operational limits quickly appear. The result is fragmented deployments, added complexity and slower scaling. AI programmes need infrastructure that can scale predictably, in the right location, without repeated redesign. KL1 Kuala Lumpur has been developed to support high-density AI environments and sustained compute growth in Greater Kuala Lumpur. If AI is part of your roadmap, the infrastructure question is no longer theoretical.

Australia has outlined an ambitious vision for artificial intelligence, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announcing a national framework at the University of Sydney yesterday, aimed at strengthening Australia's AI capability, attracting investment, and ensuring the infrastructure supporting AI is built sustainably and in the national interest. Speaking about Australia's AI future, the Prime Minister said Australia should be "designing it, making it, building the capability right here", strengthening both national sovereignty and economic resilience. The announcement also recognises data centres as essential infrastructure for Australia's AI future, with proposed measures covering nationally consistent approvals, new energy generation, network costs, water efficiency, and grid reliability. The next stage will be critical. As consultation begins, the detail of the framework will determine whether Australia can maintain high standards while attracting the infrastructure investment needed to compete in the global AI economy. The announcement also reinforces the importance of the ongoing work being led by Data Centres Australia to ensure policy supports both Australia's national interests and its ability to attract long-term investment in AI infrastructure. Getting the settings right will help strengthen energy resilience, sovereign capability, and long-term economic growth.

Supporting today's AI workloads requires a fundamentally different approach to infrastructure. Higher-density compute, direct liquid cooling, new power architectures and evolving operational models are reshaping how organisations design and deploy digital infrastructure. That's what the green rear doors on NEXTDC's direct liquid cooling (DLC) demonstration environment represent. They aren't simply a new colour. They signal a new generation of AI-ready infrastructure. For customers, the environment provides a practical way to explore the technologies shaping next-generation AI deployments and start earlier conversations around power, cooling, density and architecture. Those decisions can reduce deployment risk, accelerate time to value and build a stronger foundation for long-term AI success. Delivering AI-ready infrastructure requires an ecosystem of leading technologies and trusted expertise. NEXTDC thanks Vertiv, SRA Solutions, Dell Technologies, Castrol ON Liquid Cooling, NVIDIA and MODL for their collaboration in bringing this direct liquid cooling demonstration environment to life.

Darwin’s role in the digital economy is accelerating. Positioned at the crossroads of key terrestrial and subsea cable routes linking Australia with Jakarta, Singapore and broader Asia-Pacific markets, Darwin offers organisations low-latency access to regional economies while remaining anchored within Australia’s trusted legal, regulatory and security frameworks. D1 Darwin is already supporting mission-critical workloads, while D2 Darwin, which topped out in March and is scheduled for practical completion in 1HFY27, will further strengthen Darwin’s position as Australia’s northern digital gateway. Together, D1 Darwin and D2 Darwin are creating an interconnected, AI-ready ecosystem that enables organisations to scale AI, cloud and mission-critical infrastructure with greater proximity, connectivity and operational certainty.

According to Dell'Oro Group, the data centre liquid cooling market is projected to reach approximately US$7 billion by 2029, as AI deployments continue to reshape infrastructure requirements. As rack densities increase and AI workloads become more compute intensive, cooling is becoming a core part of infrastructure planning rather than a specialist consideration. The conversation is shifting from supporting today's workloads to designing for the performance and efficiency needed over the decade ahead. Growth in liquid cooling reflects the broader evolution of AI-ready infrastructure, where advances in power, cooling and facility design will increasingly determine how effectively new capacity can scale.
