Super-grid transformers create closed distribution network at Wustermark Campus

Mike Golding, SVP of Construction at VIRTUS Data Centres, discusses the successful delivery and installation of two 185MVA super-grid transformers at its Wustermark Campus in Berlin/Brandenburg. From the 380kV connections to the deployment of these super-grid transformers, every element has been designed to deliver levels of resilience and scalability that have note previously been available in this region. Mike explains that the campus represents a new generation of infrastructure - one that supports AI-scale growth, reduces reliance on generators, and aligns with the future of renewable energy.

High AI adoption, but limited readiness across Asia

Chris Street, Group Chief Revenue Officer of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, discusses the findings of a new regional research study, Mind the Gap: Bridging the AI Infrastructure Readiness Divide, examining how organisations across Asia are progressing from AI ambition to execution. Commissioned by STT GDC with research partner Ecosystm, the study reveals that AI ambition across Asia is high, with nearly 90% of organisations having embarked on their AI journeys. However, a significant 71% remain in the "Builder" stage of maturity, where initial AI pilots struggle to scale into production environments capable of delivering consistent and measurable return on investment (ROI).
