This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

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 Saudi Arabia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Saudi Arabia.

Where it sits

Dammam / Eastern Province holds 8 active projects with 370 MW of planned IT load between them, and DAMAC Digital DMM-1 (Dammam) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 4 are operational, 2 are under construction, 1 is being commissioned and 1 is at the land and permitting stage. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Dammam / Eastern Province, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

DAMAC Digital (EDGNEX) has 1 other in Saudi Arabia and 5 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including DAMAC Digital RUH-1 (Riyadh Industrial City 2). Named funding comes from DAMAC 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 operational on 4 June 2026.

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Saudi Arabia, as of 19 November 2025, is recorded as “Case-by-case authorisation only”. ArusGrid holds 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 4 June 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Saudi Arabia, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.

Planned MW is IT load, the power available to servers, unless marked otherwise. Running capacity is rarely published, so a missing figure means undisclosed.
