Belgian data center operator LCL announced its plan to invest €100 million in two expansion projects in Aalst and Diegem – both in the north of the Belgian capital – and €20 million in sustainability efforts.

The company has started the expansion work on the Aalst center and plans to add 2,367 square meters across multiple data rooms with hopes to complete it by March 2025. Work in the Diegem facility is scheduled to begin in December 2023 until October 2025.

Laurens van Reijen, managing director of LCL Data Centers said, “To maintain our leading position in the Belgian data center sector, we need to continue to expand our existing data centers and equip them with sustainable innovations. This is essential if we are to host and serve as many customers as possible. The investments we will make represent a step forward for our company and for existing and future customers.”
