THE NEXT GENERATION DATA & BLOCKCHAIN ECO-SYSTEM
Green Data City operates the first license for sustainable crypto-mining in Oman, in the cooler climate of Salalah. Under this license, industrial mining companies can now register directly with GDC Mining and operate within the development.
The first phase of development consists of 200MW of mining capacity, the second phase will reach 400MW hyperscale data center capacity, and develop downstream activities including renewable energy, hydrogen, sea-water A/C (SWAC), desalination, food industries and cosmetics. Real estate and hospitality investments will join the development of the new hub, and create the next generation sustainable hyperscale data eco-system in the Region.
