PoweringAI
A development platform fast-tracking Europe's next wave of AI-ready data centre developments by converting powered industrial sites into de-risked, investable opportunities
The Challenge
Europe's grid is strained, AI demand is surging, and brownfield industrial sites hold the answer. PoweringAI is Xynteo's response: a development platform that converts large, grid-connected brownfield industrial sites into investment-ready data centre developments with integrated energy infrastructure.
PoweringAI has unlocked
- 25+
- Sites identified and screened by our origination platform
- 350MW
- Across three sites at pre-feasibility stage
Off-market origination
We identify and screen large brownfield and port sites with existing or proximate grid connections. Filtering for power capacity, land readiness, and development potential. These are complex opportunities that don't appear on the open market.
Integrated structuring
We assemble development concepts that pair data centre demand with on-site energy infrastructure, coordinating partners across grid, EPC, energy and cooling. Projects are structured as investable opportunities matched to developer and investor criteria.
De-risked delivery
- Developers and investors get access to structured, actionable opportunities rather than raw leads, supported by an integrated consortium and accelerated by existing grid connections that compress timelines by 2–4 years versus greenfield.
