Appointed FiveNines Group for its first Moroccan site
Data Centres: Boom and Backlash: FiveNines hired for Casablanca AI siteBackground
The company's Moroccan plan has grown with each announcement. In April 2026 it launched the Nexus AI Factory at GITEX Africa in Marrakech, after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Morocco's Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform and the investment agency AMDIE. Hespress then put the investment at 12 billion dirhams over two phases: 16 MW at Nouaceur, followed by a second 20 MW site, for 36 MW by the end of 2027.
By October the same platform was billed at 180 MW. Its first named site, a 20 MW AI data centre near Casablanca, now has a delivery team. FiveNines Group runs early design, feasibility and permits, Zutari is lead design consultant and Fonto Energy is to build the substation, under an appointment announced on 8 October 2026.
Kaap Zuiderveld is chief executive. As of October 2026 no adviser had been named for the other 160 MW, so most of the programme remains a target rather than a project.
