An initial 200 MW power supply secured with CFE-Cenace enables a tenant lease to trigger construction toward a 2027 start.

Overview

  • The 52-hectare campus will host six hyperscale facilities serving cloud and AI workloads near Querétaro’s airport.
  • Total critical IT load is planned up to 900 MW, supported by an on-site substation plus a 2 GW maneuvering substation slated for readiness in 2027.
  • Officials project about 7,200 construction jobs and roughly 900 permanent, highly skilled roles once operations begin.
  • CloudHQ cites waterless cooling and LEED Gold/Silver design targets to limit water use and improve efficiency.
  • The investment was presented under Plan México with state backing for land acquisition, while full transmission capacity and long-term tenant commitments remain to be finalized.
