Cloud Data Center tender extended

The tender is important as it will provide electricity to the cloud data centers from the production substations, which serve as the link between the production and secondary substations to be installed later as part of the infrastructure at the planned sites in Sulaibiya, North Saad Al-Abdullah City and Al-Mutlaa.

The estimated cost of the three main substations stands at KD22 million. This tender is connected to a key infrastructure project supporting one of the most significant contracts being implemented by the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA).

In December, CITRA signed a land lease agreement with Google to establish data centers dedicated to cloud computing services. This is a major advancement in strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure and supporting digital transformation efforts in the public and private sectors through the provision of advanced and secure cloud services. It also reinforces the position of Kuwait as a reliable regional hub for data and cloud computing services. Furthermore, the project offers flexible solutions that foster innovation and entrepreneurship by enabling startups and entrepreneurs to rely on a robust and advanced digital infrastructure.
