Mindstream Energy plans 400 MW AI infrastructure in Jordan

US-based Mindstream Energy has announced plans to develop a large-scale, energy-backed sovereign AI and digital infrastructure platform in Jordan through its new subsidiary, Mindstream Jordan LLC. The project targets up to 400 megawatts in phased capacity and aims to address the rapidly increasing demand for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and sovereign cloud services across Jordan and the wider Middle East and North Africa region.

The planned 245-acre campus in Al-Risha will integrate long-term natural gas resources, on-site power generation, modular data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure. Dedicated, physically isolated compute zones with independent power, fiber, and secure access are designed to provide sovereign-grade data isolation for governments and enterprises. Mindstream aims for the facility to become one of the largest energy-backed modular AI infrastructure campuses in the Middle East.

Upon full buildout, the campus is expected to support diverse workloads for government, energy, enterprise, research, and technology sectors. The modular deployment model allows for new compute capacity to be operational in as little as three to four months from order. Jordan's Minister of Investment, Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, highlighted the project's potential to drive economic growth and technology transfer for the country.

Jordan is positioning itself as a hub for advanced technology investment. Mindstream Energy intends for the project to transform Jordan's domestic energy resources into sovereign AI infrastructure that attracts investment and fosters regional leadership in compute power. The planned cooling systems will utilize advanced technologies that do not require an external water source, a key consideration in water-scarce regions.
