In January, a Singaporean company secured the rights to a 123-hectare site on the outskirts of Morwell, near the former Hazelwood Power Station, to build and operate a data centre. Construction is expected to begin in the next couple of years.

The project is predicted to suck up 720MW of electricity, making it one of the largest data centres in the country.
