Vantage Data Centers – Weekly Recap

Vantage Data Centers is a global data center provider focused on serving hyperscale, cloud, and enterprise customers, and this weekly recap highlights several strategic developments that underscore its growth trajectory and community engagement. Over the past week, the company announced progress on infrastructure expansion in North America, long-term power provisioning for future capacity, and initiatives to support local workforce development.

A major milestone was the completion of Vantage’s QC61 data center campus in Montréal. Initiated in January 2022 and fully delivered by December 2025, the multi-phase project involved nearly 300,000 safe work hours and collaboration with a broad network of construction, vendor, and consulting partners. The campus is positioned as a long-term infrastructure asset serving enterprise and cloud customers in Québec and the wider Montréal technology ecosystem, a region that benefits from competitively priced, hydro-powered electricity and growing demand for cloud and AI-related workloads. Operationalizing QC61 converts development capital into revenue-generating capacity and should support improved operating leverage and contracted recurring revenue through long-term customer agreements typical in the sector.

Vantage also announced a strategic power partnership with Liberty Energy to secure up to 1GW of utility-scale, high-efficiency power solutions over the next five years for its North American portfolio. The agreement includes 400MW of generation capacity expected to be available in 2027, with potential to exceed 1GW as demand evolves. This arrangement directly addresses power availability and cost – key constraints for hyperscale data center growth – and provides greater visibility on future capacity expansions. By locking in scalable, cost-efficient power, Vantage may benefit from more predictable operating margins and strengthened competitive positioning versus operators without similar long-term power agreements, particularly as AI-driven workloads intensify.

Complementing these infrastructure and power developments, Vantage participated in a Mock Interview Day with Rocket Academy Dual Credit Advanced Technology Center in Cedar Grove, Wisconsin, supporting 40 students with real-world interview practice. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to local workforce development and ESG-oriented community engagement. While such efforts do not immediately impact financial performance, they can enhance employer branding, support talent pipeline development in technical fields, and improve relationships with local stakeholders, which may facilitate smoother project development over time.

Taken together, the week’s news indicates a company simultaneously scaling physical capacity, securing long-term power resources, and investing in its future workforce, reinforcing Vantage Data Centers’ positioning for continued growth in key cloud and AI infrastructure markets.
