CloudHQ Unveils $4.8 Billion Six‑Facility Data‑Center Megacampus in Querétaro

Energy supply and permitting will determine when building starts.

Overview

  • Officials and CloudHQ outlined a 52‑hectare campus near Querétaro International Airport that will host six hyperscale facilities focused on cloud and AI services.
  • CloudHQ says it has secured power for the first 200 MW toward a planned 900 MW critical IT load and is coordinating with CFE and Cenace on additional supply.
  • Plans include an on‑site private substation and a separate 2 GW maneuvering substation, with key grid infrastructure targeted to be ready around 2027.
  • Construction would begin once a long‑term tenant lease is finalized and required permits and grid reinforcements are confirmed.
  • Authorities project about 7,200 construction jobs and roughly 900 permanent roles, and the design commits to waterless cooling and LEED Gold/Silver, while reporting notes open questions on transmission funding and local resource planning.
