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 Bahrain approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Bahrain.
Manama holds 2 active projects with 60 MW of planned IT load between them, and center3 Bahrain Data Center Park ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is under construction and 1 is on hold. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Manama, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only center3 project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Bahrain Data Center Park. Named funding comes from stc Group on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 13 November 2024. The money on record is US$320m as of November 2025, the announced investment.
Grid power for a large industrial user in Bahrain costs about US$0.095 per kWh as of September 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate.

ArusGrid holds 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 4 November 2025, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
