Keppel Morwell AI Data Centre Campus

Hazelwood North, Victoria, AustraliaProposed

Utility capacity: 720 MW
Updated: Oct 29, 2026

Keppel proposes a 123-hectare AI data centre campus at Firimins Lane and Tramway Road, Hazelwood North, near Morwell. Its up-to-720 MW powerbank is prospective gross power, not IT load or energized supply. Keppel has an Agreement for Lease with Lightwood Group, with early-access fees before planned long-term fund leases. Latrobe City Council’s September 2026 update said no planning application had been lodged and consultation was planned for late 2026. Power and water contracts remain predevelopment work. Phase dates, tenant commitments and campus-specific financing remain unverified.
