AzInTelecom LLC: AzInTelecom New Data Center, Absheron

AzInTelecom publicly states that one of its two new data centers will be built in the Absheron region, with the Absheron site positioned as the main data center and the Hajigabul site as the reserve / backup data center. The official AzInTelecom announcement says both new facilities will be built using green technologies and decarbonized materials and will remain on the balance sheet of AzInTelecom LLC, which operates under Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Digital Development and Transport.

Public third party and institutional sources support this project as an active future facility rather than a completed, publicly profiled operating data center. The European Investment Bank states that its EUR 43 million loan to AzInTelecom will finance two new state of the art data centers for governmental cloud infrastructure, while public 2025 reporting states that construction of the Absheron and Hajigabul sites began in 2025 and that the Absheron data center is planned for completion in 2027.
