Australia could become a “data centre capital of the world” - OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman
Data center build out in Australia now rivals the mining boom. According to the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) projection, around 3.2GW of operational capacity by 2035 sits comfortably within a broader range of around 2.5 to 5.0GW over the decade (up from 0.3GW in 2024/25). Electricity consumption by data centers could rise from around 1% of grid today to around 8–11% by 2035. To materialize the pipeline and its associated energy projects, a whopping more than $155bn (or around 5.6% of GDP) will be needed. Access to power has become a major bottleneck for data center investors/developers.
The Data Center and Power Australia Summit 2027 is going to invite key stakeholders of the data center industry in Australia to dive deep on the most concerned topics, share real-life experience and market insights, showcase latest technological innovations, helping you establish win-win partnerships to deliver long-term business goals.
