G-DATA
The Platform
A Hyperscale Data Center Platform
G-DATA: A hyperscale data center platform scaling from 80 MW to 600 MW, co-located with renewable generation and connected via subsea fiber links.
G-DATA was conceived from a simple but structurally powerful insight: the two fastest-growing infrastructure needs of emerging markets — clean power and digital compute capacity — are better solved together. By co-locating hyperscale data center infrastructure with Gaia’s own renewable generation assets, G-DATA delivers what conventional data center operators cannot: guaranteed green power at cost, from behind the meter, without reliance on the grid or carbon offsets.
The Convergence
The Convergence That Defines the Next Decade
Increasing demand for green-powered data centers and submarine fiber connectivity.
Data center demand in emerging markets is growing at 20-25% per year, driven by cloud adoption, AI workload growth, 5G infrastructure and sovereign digital programmes. At the same time, renewable energy in sun-rich and wind-rich markets is now the cheapest source of power available. The companies that lock in co-located green power and compute capacity today will hold a structural cost and ESG advantage that new entrants cannot replicate.
For hyperscale cloud operators with net-zero commitments and for corporate customers subject to science-based targets, G-DATA’s green-by-architecture credentials are not a preference — they are a procurement requirement. For governments building sovereign digital infrastructure, G-DATA’s local ownership, renewable power supply and subsea connectivity make it a natural strategic partner.
Strategic Focus
Vertical Integration for Dual Revenue
Gaia Energy will primarily develop renewable energy projects, fiber optic connectivity, land and permitting to power datacenters, ensuring sustainable and high-efficiency energy solutions for digital infrastructure.
This is not a pivot — it is vertical integration. By directing a share of our renewable pipeline towards our own data center infrastructure, and by securing land, permitting and fiber connectivity as integrated components of each site, we capture value across both the energy and digital value chains simultaneously.
The result: a dual-revenue model with structural power cost advantage, verifiable green credentials, and a project finance profile attractive to both infrastructure debt and equity investors.

Technical Infrastructure
Power: Behind-the-Meter Renewable
Each G-DATA node is physically co-located with Gaia’s solar and wind assets — power sourced directly from our own generation, not grid supply supplemented by RECs. BESS integration provides 4-hour storage. Target PUE below 1.3, versus an industry average of 1.58.
Connectivity: Subsea Fiber
Co-located with or directly connected to subsea fiber landing stations. Dual-path redundancy as standard. Dark fiber capacity available for anchor tenants requiring dedicated bandwidth.
Facility Standards
- Tier III minimum — 99.982% availability
- 2N redundancy on critical power and cooling
- ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II roadmap
- GPU-ready high-density racks (up to 20 kW/rack)
- 24/7 remote hands and Network Operations Centre
Target Customers
Hyperscale Cloud Operators
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and their regional peers require cost-competitive, low-carbon compute capacity at scale in high-growth jurisdictions. G-DATA offers 10–15 year colocation contracts with green credentials that are structural, not supplemented.
Sovereign Digital Infrastructure
Governments across Africa and Southeast Asia are building national cloud platforms, digital identity systems and AI research capacity. G-DATA’s local ownership, renewable power and verifiable data residency make it the natural infrastructure partner for sovereign programmes.
AI & High-Performance Compute
The AI infrastructure build-out is the defining capex cycle of this decade. G-DATA’s high-density architecture — built for GPU cluster deployments — is positioned directly in the path of that demand wave, in markets where competing green infrastructure is scarce.
Commercial Structure
- Long-term colocation (10–15 year contracts)
- Wholesale and retail capacity
- PPA bundling options for contracted green power
- Build-to-suit for hyperscale anchor tenants
Southeast Asia Data Platform
G-DATA expansion into Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, co-located with Gaia’s 2,100 MW Asian renewable pipeline. Targeting hyperscale cloud, sovereign digital and AI compute demand.
