The Emirates Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, to provide co-location services at the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
Moro Hub is the world’s largest solar-powered data centre, a distinction certified by Guinness World Records.
Starting in mid-2026, the Emirates Group will begin relocating its data centre operations to Moro Hub, which will provide comprehensive services, including rack space, power, cooling, equipment supply, and other associated services.
With the move, the Emirates Group will transition to clean energy, requiring an annual supply of 3,000 megawatts to power its data centre.
Vision for sustainable digital innovation
