Sabey Data Centers to build new data center campus in Umatilla, Ore.

Sabey Data Centers announced that the company is expanding into Umatilla, Ore. Sabey has purchased 60 acres to develop a state-of-the-art data center campus.

SDC Umatilla will be a 700,000-square-foot data center campus and will support 100-plus megawatts of critical IT load. As of 2020, Oregon reported a 40 percent renewable utility power fuel mix, with a target to hit 100 percent by 2040. Sabey will procure/invest in carbon-free energy in time to meet the company’s net-zero target by 2029 in Umatilla and across the SDC portfolio, 11 years ahead of Oregon’s target.

The campus will offer multiple diverse connectivity solutions, provide low latency to West Coast metro areas and will be near to West Coast subsea cables. Construction of the data center campus will generate jobs in the local rural community, with ongoing career opportunities available on the campus.

Sabey Data Centers expects to break ground in Umatilla in first quarter 2025.
