"In total, the Mediterranean accounts for 56% of Digital Realty's planned capital expenditure in EMEA through 2030, according to regional managing director Fabrice Coquio."
"The Rome site, targeting 62 megawatts of capacity, is expected to open early next year. In Milan, the company is adding an 84-megawatt campus, land for which was acquired in Abbiategrasso, southwest of the city."
"Digital Realty is also exploring participation in a planned EU-backed AI 'gigafactory' in Italy, which could require around 200 MW of capacity, Talotta said."
