About Kronstorf Data Center

Kronstorf Data Center, operated by Google, is a hyperscale data-centre development located in Kronstorf, Upper Austria, approximately 25 km south of Linz in the Linz-Land district. The site represents Google’s first major data-centre investment in Austria and one of its most strategically positioned developments in Central Europe. Once completed, it will form part of Google’s expanding European network that supports Google Cloud, YouTube, and other digital services.

The Kronstorf facility is situated near the B309 corridor, within a region recognized for its industrial infrastructure and access to renewable energy. Originally acquired by Google in 2008, the site spans roughly 70 hectares of land. After several years of environmental and infrastructure planning, Google formally advanced its construction application in 2024, marking the start of the region’s largest private digital infrastructure project. The Kronstorf Data Center underpins Google’s long-term goal of expanding sustainable, low-latency cloud capacity across Europe while leveraging Austria’s stable power grid and proximity to central European network routes.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

  • Built to hyperscale campus design, supporting modular expansion across multiple buildings and phases.
  • Planned total site capacity expected to reach tens of megawatts (MW) of IT load upon full buildout.
  • Located on a 70-hectare greenfield site, enabling large-scale data-hall deployment and renewable energy integration.
  • Expected to feature 2N electrical redundancy, dual-grid connections, and on-site backup power generation for continuous uptime.
  • Incorporates advanced cooling technologies, potentially utilizing hydraulic or water-based cooling from the nearby Enns River for high energy efficiency.
