Keppel this week said its Connectivity Division has secured the rights to lease a 123-hectare contiguous site near Morwell, Victoria, with a gross power capacity of up to 720MW, from Australian energy and infrastructure landowner Lightwood Group.

Manjot Singh Mann, CEO of Connectivity, Keppel, said: “The site near Morwell offers significant scalability, with clear pathways to securing competitively priced green power, non-potable water for cooling, and low-latency fiber connectivity, making it a compelling location to site next-generation AI campuses.”


Lee Hui Fang, deputy CIO of data centers, Keppel, added: “Keppel’s deep operating capabilities allow us to execute powerbanking at scale – securing strategic sites early, undertaking critical front-end work and committing capital only when customer interest is clear. This approach enables us to deliver disciplined growth and strong returns to our limited partners.”
