Stadtwerke Lübeck has launched its first data center, marking a significant milestone for the region. The investment was in the low single-digit million euro range. The facility aims to enhance local data sovereignty and resilience for businesses and public administration.

High demand has led to nearly full occupancy by the end of the first development phase. The data center will be powered by two 100kW heat and power plants, with surplus electricity supplied to the grid and waste heat used for nearby homes.

Solar panels will provide additional power. Expansion plans are approved to triple capacity for high-performance and AI computing applications.
