With a total planned capacity of 3.20 GW across 13 strategically selected sites, all with fully approved construction permits, solar energy access, high-capacity power supply, and dark-fiber connectivity, BlackBerry AIF targets the “green-light” for construction in Q4 2026, with an estimated investment of over USD 30 billion.
Madrid, Spain — 14/8/2025 — BlackBerry Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) reinforces its position at the forefront of digital infrastructure innovation by orchestrating the most ambitious AI and hyperscale data-center portfolio in Southern Europe. This endeavor comprises 13 high-impact projects delivering a combined capacity of 3.20 GW.
Each location has been selected according to rigorous technical and regulatory standards, ensuring:
- Fully approved construction permits, eliminating execution risk and expediting project timelines.
- Robust, high-density power connections, designed to sustain the extreme compute loads inherent to AI and high-performance computing (HPC) operations.
- Seamless access to solar-renewable energy, enhancing the portfolio’s environmental footprint while boosting operational efficiency.
- Integrated dark-fiber infrastructure, providing ultra-low latency and high-throughput links to major cloud and tech hubs across Spain and Europe.
The plan includes having at least 3,2 GW reach “ready-to-build” (RTB) status by Q4 2026, enabling immediate initiation of construction phases. The total capital commitment for full deployment is projected to exceed USD 30 billion, positioning the initiative as the largest of its kind in Southern Europe and among the most prominent in all of Western Europe.
