Google has significantly invested in its St. Ghislain, Belgium data center campus, with a total investment approaching €3 billion. The initial €250 million investment in 2007 established the first Google data center globally to operate without refrigeration, utilizing an advanced evaporative cooling system with grey water from a nearby industrial canal for enhanced efficiency and reduced energy consumption. Subsequent expansions include an additional €300 million in 2013 for a second phase, completed in 2015, and a €250 million expansion in February 2018, which coincided with the unveiling of a new solar plant funded by a €3 million investment. Further growth occurred with a €600 million investment in June 2019 for a fourth data center, and in November 2021, Google committed over €500 million to expand the existing site, marking the fifth data center on the campus. Additionally, land was acquired in Ecopôle near Charleroi for a potential future data center, underscoring Google’s ongoing commitment to the region and its local community.
