Data sources & capacity methodopen public

Saudi Data‑Centre Inventory v2025‑07 is compiled by Renewable Vision from:

• Public‑domain disclosures – DataCenterDynamics, Capacity Media, MEED, company press releases, exchange filings and sustainability reports.
• All article / PDF URLs are referenced at the foot of this page for verification.

Capacity estimation ⚠️
Most Saudi data‑centre developers do not publish IT‑load figures. Where explicit MW were missing we derived a range using one of the following heuristics:

• Capex proxy – disclosed spend ÷ industry benchmark US $7‑11 m per MW for hyperscale builds.
• Generator count – number × MVA rating × 0.9 P.F.
• Rack method – racks × 6 kW (typical Tier III density).
• Portfolio split – when only a programme total was given, capacity was apportioned equally across the named sites.

These figures are indicative only; actual delivered megawatts may differ once sites reach FID or COD. Renewable Vision will revise estimates as firm numbers are released.
