The competition to establish data centers in Central Asia is intensifying as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan advance major projects. In Tashkent, the Saudi Arabia-backed TAS-1 data center, developed by DataVolt, is on track to complete its first phase by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is progressing with a Nvidia-supported data center campus expected to deliver 125 megawatts of power capacity by 2027.
This surge in infrastructure development highlights Central Asia's growing role in the regional digital economy. The Uzbek facility's imminent phase completion and the Kazakh project's scale underscore the strategic investments underway.
