Israel to build first data center in Albania, 100 million euro project

Albania will have its first "Datacenter"

The first datacenter in Albania is expected to be built soon by the Israeli company ADC.

The project, which will be built in a free trade zone near Tirana, is expected to cost around 100 million euros and will be based on Nvidia's Robin graphics processors.

The data center will offer an initial capacity of 32 megawatts, with expansion options up to 100 megawatts.

ADC is jointly owned by Happy Technologies (80%), a cybersecurity and computer technology company owned by Roi Shaposhnik, Noam Frank, Shlomi Avni and Itai Melchior; and DIT (20%), a data center consulting company led by Zvika Friedman, Nir Poltorak and Dan Carmi.

The construction permit was approved within just 60 days. The TEDA free trade zone, where the center will be built, is still under construction, but the electricity supply infrastructure has been put in place in advance. The national electricity company is also building a substation dedicated to this project, Globes reports .

The data center will be powered by green energy from hydroelectric sources, making the project unique in the region for its degree of greenness. In terms of financing, ADC has secured a credit line from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) covering 75% of the project cost.

Even before construction is complete, the center has secured three major clients: Albanian technology company Infosoft, a German storage company, and an Albanian government client. The center’s developers see great growth potential with European and American clients seeking green energy-powered artificial intelligence processing centers, becoming an alternative to centers in the U.S., where there is a bottleneck in the development of data centers and power plants.

Israel–Albania relations have strengthened significantly in the last two years, especially after an Iranian cyberattack on Tirana in 2022, which led Albania to start using Israeli technology to protect its government and private organizations. During the Gaza war, relations between the countries were further strengthened, with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's visit to Israel.

Following the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli company Elbit Systems signed a contract to supply artillery systems and drones to the Albanian army.
