Energy infrastructure developer WBS Power SA has secured grid connection conditions for a 3.2-GW hyperscale data centre campus in northern Pomerania, marking a decisive step in Europe’s race to scale AI-ready digital infrastructure.
The project, branded the Baltic Data Center Campus, now enters its execution phase after the company finalized siting, land acquisition, and concept design in Lublewo, within the municipality of Choczewo. The development anchors itself in a region increasingly positioned as a strategic power and connectivity corridor for Northern Europe.
Phased Build-Out Targets AI-Scale Demand
However, the scale of the project signals more than regional ambition. It reflects a broader recalibration across Europe, where hyperscale infrastructure now aligns tightly with long-term energy security and diversified supply strategies.
According to CEO Maciej Marcjanik, the campus will rank as the largest of its kind in Poland and among Europe’s most expansive data infrastructure developments. The company structured the rollout into four phases of 800 MW each, enabling modular expansion aligned with demand cycles.
Each phase integrates dedicated energy systems tailored for AI-intensive workloads. These include renewable energy inputs and battery energy storage systems (BESS), ensuring both resilience and load balancing capabilities at scale.
Energy Strategy Anchored in Diversification
Moreover, the campus benefits from proximity to one of Poland’s largest power substations, a factor that materially reduces grid latency risks while supporting high-density compute operations. The energy mix will combine conventional baseload power with renewables, while future integration with nuclear generation remains under consideration.
“The digital revolution requires infrastructure on an entirely new scale. We selected the location for the Baltic Data Center Campus very carefully, ensuring access to large power capacities, a diversified energy mix already in place today, and the long-term prospect of stable supply supported by future nuclear generation,” said Hubert Bojdo, CFO of WBS Power.
Timeline Signals Long-Term Infrastructure Commitment
The timeline reflects a structured build-out strategy. Preparatory work across all four phases is expected to conclude by the end of 2027. The first operational data centre is projected to come online between 2028 and 2029.
Meanwhile, WBS Power continues to expand its European footprint. The company is advancing a separate 500-MW data centre project in Finsterwalde, underscoring a dual-market strategy spanning Central and Western Europe.
Therefore, the Baltic Data Center Campus positions Poland as a serious contender in the hyperscale landscape, particularly as AI workloads drive unprecedented power density requirements. The convergence of grid access, diversified energy sourcing, and phased scalability suggests a blueprint increasingly replicated across emerging European data corridors.
As hyperscale demand accelerates, projects of this magnitude are likely to redefine how infrastructure developers synchronize compute expansion with long-term energy planning.
