Hochheim is set to construct a data center that will yield €24 million, but the project has been postponed until 2028 due to a lack of electrical capacity. The city has approved a change in the zoning plan and will formalize contracts with Kauri CAB Group, the data center operator.

The contract includes a one-time payment and additional staggered payments over ten years. The data center will have a heat output of around 40 MW, aiding Hochheim's total heating demand of 200 MW. Construction depends on the Rhein-Main-Link power line, with the first power supply expected in 2031. The company plans for a three-year construction period.
