Mindstream Energy to Build 400 MW Sovereign AI Campus in Jordan

The Al-Risha development leverages Jordan’s domestic natural gas resources to power modular data centers, allowing for rapid deployment cycles of just three to four months. By integrating on-site power generation with specialized telecommunications, the campus offers segregated compute zones designed for government, defense, and enterprise clients who require strict data isolation and sovereignty.

To address regional climate constraints, the facility will utilize recirculating cooling technologies that eliminate the need for external water sources. H.E. Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, Jordan’s Minister of Investment, noted that the project aligns with the Kingdom's goal of fostering a competitive, knowledge-based economy. Mindstream Energy CEO Mark F. Thimmig emphasized that the ability to convert secure energy access into compute power will define the next phase of regional AI growth, positioning the site to become one of the largest modular infrastructure campuses in the Middle East.
