Orange, Morrison plan French data centre venture to meet AI demand

On July 27, French telecoms operator Orange and infrastructure investor Morrison announced plans to establish a 50-50 joint venture in France focused on expanding data centre capacity to meet growing demand for artificial intelligence and cloud services. The venture aims to achieve 400 megawatts of capacity, approximately 10 times Orange's current level, backed by a €3 billion investment program involving Orange's assets, Morrison's funding, and debt. Orange will contribute five existing data centres in France, while Morrison will provide equity funding for growth. The deal is expected to be signed by the end of 2026 and completed in early 2027, pending regulatory approvals.
