Keppel’s Connectivity Division is pivoting toward large-scale regional development with its latest acquisition near Morwell, Victoria. By securing a massive 123-hectare site near the former Hazelwood Power Station, the company is bypassing the constraints of metropolitan Melbourne to build what is being positioned as one of Australia’s premier AI campuses.
This move leverages existing high-voltage transmission infrastructure and non-potable water sources—critical assets for the intensive cooling and energy needs of next-generation hardware. Strategically located within the Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone, the site provides a direct pathway to green power and low-latency fiber, making it a high-priority destination for hyperscalers and neoclouds looking to scale outside traditional Tier-1 hubs.
