FiveNines Group will oversee development of a 20 MW data center outside Casablanca, Morocco, as part of the Nexus AI Factory project, which is backed by a US$ 1.2 billion investment.
The international data center infrastructure business is partnering with AI infrastructure company Nexus Core Systems on the facility, which will be purpose-built for high-density AI computing. FiveNines Group will lead the team handling design management, technical governance, consultant coordination, constructability, and procurement strategy.
The wider Nexus AI Factory project is scheduled to come online in two phases through 2027. The first phase will deploy 16 MW of capacity, with the second adding a further 20 MW. At full buildout, the facility aims to reach 500 MW.
FiveNines Group’s early-stage responsibilities include managing briefing, feasibility, design strategy, and concept design. That work will inform a coordinated design package for engagement with authorities and permit submission.
"We are very pleased with the cooperation and services FiveNines Group has provided so far. Their team has supported us well as we shape the design and delivery approach for the Morocco data centre. We look forward to continuing our work together on this ambitious project", said Bastian Remmlinger, Nexus Core Systems Head of Infrastructure.
The development will bring together FiveNines Group’s international expertise and Moroccan project participants.
"We are delighted to partner with Nexus Core Systems in order to construct an advanced data centre in North Africa. This project will bring together our international data centre expertise with Moroccan architects, engineers, technical advisers, and relevant authorities. It further demonstrates the capability of FiveNines Group to undertake critical infrastructure projects of the highest standard alongside global industry leaders", said Gerry Curran, FiveNines Group Chief Executive Officer.
"Our team members have wide experience in designing and delivering data centres and other mission critical construction projects to tight deadlines and the highest technical specifications, with a strong emphasis on safety, sustainability and compliance", Curran added.
Nexus Core Systems announced the Nexus AI Factory project in April alongside the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, the Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, and the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development.
The project is set to run entirely on renewable energy supplied by TAQA Morocco.
