Capacity & development
Power for servers, GPUs, storage & networking (IT power)
FY26 target approximately 550 MW or more, subject to development approval; design and town planning. FY26 presentation says development is ready to start subject to development approval; no construction commencement is inferred.
Proposed or approved design capacity. Included in the planning inventory, not a dated delivery forecast or a claim of committed supply.
Government certification
Certification not verified
No verified certification scope has been assigned to this record. Unknown does not mean uncertified.
What certification covers →Scope and context
- Eastern Creek; an announced development target is not built supply.
- Technical details reported by Data Center Map are shown separately from the Atlas's primary-source observations.
- Directory reconciliation: Public directory gives only the Eastern Creek area west of Sydney; it supplies no exact street address or precise location verification.
- Directory reconciliation: The public publisher withholds exact location. This match uses named identity only and does not use hidden embedded coordinates or addresses.
- City map markers are approximate. No exact facility coordinates have been verified.

OpenAI and NEXTDC S7 memorandum of understanding
The 5 December 2025 announcement describes a MoU for a planned S7 hyperscale AI campus and GPU supercluster at Eastern Creek, with a first-phase delivery expectation in July–December 2027 subject to approvals.

- Named facility · NEXTDC
- Evidence as-of date
- 2025-12-05
- Workloads described
- Not specified in this evidence
How to read this: A MoU is not proof of a binding MW offtake agreement or an operating GPU deployment. No phase MW, GPU model or count is disclosed. Do not assign all 550 MW of the S7 plan to the 2027 first phase. OpenAI's Australian enterprise customers named in the article are not identified as S7 tenants.

NEXTDC Australian fitted-out capacity: 277.9 MW
NEXTDC reports 287.9 MW consolidated built capacity at 30 June 2026, including 10 MW at Kuala Lumpur. The derived Australian portfolio is 277.9 MW. Named-site evidence allocates 273.45 MW within this portfolio.

- Evidence scope
- Operator portfolio · NEXTDC
- Evidence as-of date
- 2026-06-30
How to read this: Built capacity is the designed power of fitted-out halls. Customer infrastructure may require further investment. The regional table rounds Australia to 278 MW. Named-site capacity is deducted before the remaining portfolio balance is counted.
