Yorizon Cloud and Hochtief this week announced a groundbreaking ceremony for its latest facility in Bad Lippspringe, a town in the district of Paderborn, in North Rhine-Westphalia, in central Germany. Completion of the 2MW site is scheduled for summer 2026.
“With this data center, we’re not just delivering powerful digital capabilities to Bad Lippspringe,” said Bernd Holtwick, executive director at Hochtief PPP Solutions. “We’re also demonstrating how municipalities can harness synergies between data and energy management.”
“Modern, sustainable data centers play a vital role in advancing digital infrastructure,” said Stephan Küßner, managing director at Palladio Partners. “They also exemplify sector coupling—a key principle in the energy transition. By leveraging renewable energy and repurposing waste heat, they contribute directly to the shift toward climate-friendly heating.”
“We were thrilled when we learned about the plans for this cutting-edge data center,” said Bad Lippspringe Mayor Ulrich Lange. “The collaboration with Hochtief and Palladio Partners represents a win-win scenario—particularly with regard to our climate-conscious municipal heating strategy. The center’s waste heat is an ideal energy source for our planned district heating network. This project is an important building block on our journey toward energy autonomy.”
