Cielo Digital Infrastructure

Cielo Digital Infrastructure is a data center infrastructure development company focused on power-secured sites for large-scale digital infrastructure deployments. The company develops data center campus opportunities for customers requiring energy access, resilient utility planning, and scalable land positions for future compute capacity. Its first announced South Carolina development is planned in Gaffney, Cherokee County, where Cielo is developing a hyperscale data center campus near the North Carolina border.

Cielo’s development model centers on site identification, energy access, resilient power planning, and large-format campus preparation. The Gaffney project is planned at 000 Ford Road and includes four facilities, each approximately 400,000 square feet, plus an associated electrical substation. The project represents an expected $2.1 billion investment and is expected to create 30 new jobs.

Cielo’s Cherokee County campus is a planned project with initial operations expected by year-end 2028. Data Center Dynamics reported the site could total up to 300 MW at full build-out. Cielo was initially backed by Arroyo Energy Investors Fund IV, with Arroyo listing the platform as a portfolio of project sites with preferential access to grid power for data center development.
