Yondr Group, a leading global developer, owner and operator of hyperscale data centres, announced that its new 40MW data centre in Bischofsheim, just south of Frankfurt, is now fully operational. It marks a significant step in the company’s continued expansion across key European markets where over 100MW of capacity has been brought online in the past 12 months. 

The final milestone for the Frankfurt data centre concludes Yondr’s four ready-for-service (RFS) phases. Yondr worked collaboratively with the client throughout the design and construction phases, enabling them with early access to the data halls.  

The Frankfurt facility is part of Yondr’s rapidly growing global data centre portfolio, with projects in EMEA, APAC and North America, and its completion continues a busy year in Europe for Yondr. The company achieved RFS for the first building at the company’s 100MW London campus last July, the second London campus building was completed in March this year, and work started on site for the third London campus building this January.  

Yondr’s Bischofsheim data centre adds to the importance of Frankfurt as a data centre hub. The city region dominates data capacity growth in Germany and is ranked fifth in the world. It is a great example of embedding sustainability into data centre design, aligning with Yondr’s sustainability goals and net carbon zero targets.   

The Frankfurt data centre sourced 100% renewable electricity last year and complies with the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), which stipulates that data centres in Germany must use renewable energy for 50% of the asset’s electricity consumption (rising to 100% renewables from 1 January, 2027). 

Among the features incorporated into the data centre to   are a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation on the roof, a green wall and electric vehicle charging points. Yondr has also completed a research study exploring the possibility of utilising waste heat from the facility for the municipality. 

Peter Hill, VP Design & Construction EMEA at Yondr said: “Bringing more than 100MW of capacity online across Europe in the last 12 months is a clear reflection of our ability to execute at scale.  

“The completion of our Frankfurt development reiterates Yondr’s strong presence in the EMEA region and our commitment to enabling clients to extend their global data footprint with consistent quality and a repeatable model as the urgent need for capacity continues. With an ambitious delivery pipeline ahead, we look forward to continuing this progress and delivering even more data centres across the region.” 

Ailish McDonnell, Development Director EMEA, commented: “Europe remains a key market for us, and Germany, in particular, plays a strategically important role due to strong demand from hyperscale and AI clients. Yondr continues to demonstrate its ability to secure strategically important sites and deliver data capacity at pace, while providing solutions that are robust and sustainable.”
