St. Ghislain, Belgium – Google Data Center Location

A hallmark of technology and sustainability, our data centre campus in St. Ghislain-Mons, Belgium, represents our ability to innovate an industry and a community. Using chilled water from an industrial canal to cool the servers and a solar farm to help generate power, our data centre campus is leading the way in climate-friendly data solutions. As we continue to invest in Belgium, we look forward to continuing to partner with the local workforce and support our community’s most important issues.

Google’s proud to employ local people who help our data centres function at their best.

• Generous combination of energy infrastructure and location

• Cluster of high-tech businesses

• A skilled local workforce

• Investment to date

  €5B+

  Since 2007, Google has invested more than €5 billion in the country in data centres and related infrastructure.

• Battery-based system

  1st

  In Belgium, we installed the first-ever battery-based system for replacing generators at a hyperscale data centre. This shifts the energy from high CO2 grid-emitting hours to carbon-free hours, creating a fast-response load change. This supports the scale and deployment acceleration of energy storage by demonstrating an alternative backup power model for all data centres.

• Carbon-free energy score

  82%

  To help Belgium achieve its goal of net-zero emissions, Google in 2022 provided a carbon-free energy score of 82%.

Google-supported projects, like this solar facility, put Saint-Ghislain and Belgium as a whole on the map as digital front-runners — regions whose digital expertise and environmental infrastructure make them attractive to other large tech investors.

2010

Google opens our first data centre outside of the U.S. in Belgium.

2015

Google completes our expansion of the data centre.

2019

Google, in collaboration with the HELHa Engineer university college, launches the Data Centre program on facilities maintenance in partnership with international academic institutes and industry providers in order to meet the growing need for upskilling of maintenance staff in the industry.
