Uzbekistan tracks commissioning of a 12 MW DataVolt data centre at IT Park Tashkent
Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Digital Technologies and DataVolt reviewed final-stage construction and commissioning preparations for the IT Park data centre in Tashkent. EBRD project disclosure identifies the facility as a planned 12 MW Tier III carrier-neutral data centre supported by an approved senior loan, giving digital-infrastructure firms a named operating and delivery reference to assess.
Verified facts
- The Ministry of Digital Technologies reported on 16 October 2026 that its minister met DataVolt’s chief executive to discuss the data centre under construction at IT Park Uzbekistan, its final construction stage, commissioning timetable and launch preparations.
- A 19 October government update says the parties continued to coordinate outstanding issues, launch preparation and engagement with international technology companies around the facility. It confirms an active commissioning workstream but does not identify a commissioned operating date, available rack capacity, customer allocation or a supplier package.
- The Ministry states that the discussions covered modern data centres, cooperation with international technology companies, cloud services and high-performance computing infrastructure. The meeting report does not identify a customer contract, hosting allocation, cloud-provider agreement, supplier package or commercial service availability.
- EBRD’s current project summary identifies DataVolt IT Park Data Center JV LLC as the project company for a 12 MW IT-load Tier III carrier-neutral data centre in Tashkent. EBRD describes a senior loan of up to USD 78 million against a stated total project cost of USD 250 million and lists the project as approved.
- EBRD’s disclosure says construction had begun before its transaction and identifies Larsen and Toubro as EPC contractor in its environmental and social summary. It also records project-level environmental, health and safety, labour, waste, security and data-privacy management considerations. The disclosure is not a current procurement notice or an endorsement of a specific vendor.
- Earlier IT Park reporting provides context on the Green data-centre programme and on the stated role of skills development and renewable-energy sourcing. Earlier partnership reporting does not determine the facility’s current operational status, power availability, rack capacity, customer terms, service level or technology qualification.
Horizon view
This is a tangible digital-infrastructure case with a named asset, project vehicle and stated financing context. The commercial value lies in understanding the facility’s commissioning sequence and operating needs, then matching a narrow offering such as power-quality equipment, cooling, security, network, cloud, maintenance, sustainability, talent or support services to a verified decision owner and permitted procurement or contracting route.
Commercial implication and next step
Data-centre, cloud, network, power, cooling, cybersecurity, facilities-management, sustainability and skills firms should prepare a disciplined asset file: current construction and commissioning stage; legal project company and authorised technical or commercial contact; published procurement or private-contract route; electrical capacity, redundancy and cooling design requirements; interconnection and energy-supply evidence; data, security and hosting responsibilities; applicable certification and customer-acceptance criteria; local installation, maintenance, spares and training model; EHS and waste-management obligations; insurance, warranty, price, currency and payment structure. Confirm the live route with the project company before requesting access, proposing an integration, quoting capacity or describing the facility as operational.
What to verify before acting
The cited materials do not establish the launch date, operational readiness, available capacity, customer eligibility, colocation or cloud-service terms, utility allocation, technical specification, tender, supplier qualification, contract award, price, payment or transaction. This is not Uzbekistan telecommunications, data-protection, cybersecurity, construction, energy, procurement, environmental, tax, insurance or legal advice.
