CDC Data Centres, Contact Energy explore Stratford, New Zealand data centre project
  • Infratil-backed CDC Data Centres began working with Contact Energy to explore building a data center near Stratford, Taranaki.
  • Proposed site sits near Contact’s former Taranaki Combined Cycle power station; project remains at an early evaluation stage.
  • Plan centers on long-term contracted electricity supply, supported by new generation from Contact’s renewable development pipeline.
  • CDC cited fibre connectivity to Auckland international cable landings as a key factor in assessing the location.
  • Any build would depend on due diligence, consents, commercial terms, stakeholder engagement; neither party has committed to construction.
