Delska unveils 10 MW Riga data center designed for AI workloads and low-carbon operations

Delska opened its newest data center in Riga, presenting a 10 MW operational capacity intended to serve high-density AI and HPC deployments. The modular site occupies about 7,100 square meters and is engineered to handle racks drawing very high power, while the campus has space to scale up to 30 MW on adjoining land. Investment into the project topped thirty million euros, reflecting a strategic bet on Baltic capacity as European hubs face electricity and space constraints. Energy sourcing is central to the facility’s case: the operator is routing supply from Northern European renewables and has specified renewable diesel for backup generation to reduce fossil fuel dependence. On the cooling front the build combines hot-aisle containment, advanced free-cooling, and both air and direct-to-chip liquid cooling to support GPU-dense systems. The design target for operational efficiency is a sub-1.3 PUE, and the center is moving through Uptime Institute certification stages to validate resilience claims. Executives framed the site as an exportable offering, aimed at attracting international customers seeking accessible capacity and greater regional digital sovereignty. The operator is also exploring reuse of excess heat with the municipal heating provider, a move that, if realized, would convert operational waste into a local utility benefit. The launch comes as many firms reassess geography for compute capacity because incumbent markets are hitting power and real estate limits. For customers, the combination of scalable power, validated uptime, and renewable-backed energy offers a practical option for latency-sensitive and power-hungry workloads. For Latvia, the project signals stronger domestic compute infrastructure and a potential magnet for foreign investment in cloud and managed services. Operationalization will hinge on commercial traction, grid stability under load, and the speed of planned expansion on adjacent parcels. Overall, the facility positions Delska to compete on sustainability and capacity at a moment when supply constraints are reshaping where compute gets located.
