Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How United Arab Emirates approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in United Arab Emirates.
Khazna QAJ1 is the only active project ArusGrid tracks in Northern Emirates, at 100 MW of planned IT load. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Northern Emirates, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Khazna has 6 others in the United Arab Emirates and 1 project elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Stargate UAE phase 1, Khazna Dubai Production City and Khazna AUH6 (with AUH8 extension). Named funding comes from G42 on the equity side. The named user of the compute is Microsoft (confirmed).
The stage was recorded as under construction on 24 April 2025. Power comes from Etihad Water and Electricity (EtihadWE) through grid supply. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in the United Arab Emirates, as of 14 July 2026, is recorded as “Country Group A:5 with Supplement No. 8 approved end users”. ArusGrid holds 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 24 February 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
