Data4 Chosen for €5bn Data Center Project in Northern France
January 03, 2026
DATA4 Group
With the potential to house 32 data centers, the DATA4 Paris-Saclay site claims the title of Europe's largest data center campus. Originally an Alcatel Lucent research facility, the campus was redeveloped and opened in 2007. It holds a strategic location within the Paris-Saclay technology cluster, which is home to a claimed 15% of France's tech industry.
DATA4 supports use of Renewable Energy throughout its sites. 100% of its electricity consumption is produced from Renewable Energy (hydraulic and wind).
In addition, for each MWh consumed, the French electric utility company EDF donates one Euro to renewable energy R&D in France.
The Paris-Saclay PAR01 campus is located in Marcoussis, less than 20 minutes from an international airport (ORLY) and an RER-TGV connecting train station (Massy), as well as being 30 minutes by car from the centre of Paris (via the A6 or N118).
