One of the two Dii Studies released at our Annual Dii Desert Energy Leadership Summit explores the synergy between digital infrastructure and the region’s world-leading clean energy resources.
We analyze pathways to power next-generation AI facilities with renewables and green hydrogen, highlighting how the Middle East can pioneer sustainable, carbon-free digital ecosystems.
Join us for our presentation where the authors, Chiara Aruffo, Dii Desert Energy, and Markus Strömich-Jeneweins, Director Commercial Strategy, INNIO Group, the key findings of the report including:
✅ Data center expansion is increasingly driven by access to abundant, low-cost, clean energy, delivered at speed, especially for AI workloads.
✅ The Middle East uniquely offers clean energy + speed + scale, solving the power bottleneck hindering AI growth elsewhere.
✅ Data centers are emerging as ideal “Super offtakers “ whose long-term demand makes giga-scale renewable projects bankable, creating a powerful symbiosis that accelerates the green transition.
✅ By aligning digital ambitions with clean energy potential, the region can power the future of AI with 100% emission-free energy.
✅ This represents a significant growth opportunity, positioning the region as a leader in both the digital and the energy transitions.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask the authors questions in a Q&A session after the presentation.

About the Study ‘Data Centers: the New Super Off-takers of Clean Energy with INNIO Jenbacher Solutions
The Middle East is emerging as a global powerhouse for clean digital infrastructure. This report uncovers the strategic convergence of AI growth and abundant renewable energy. We map out optimal pathways, from grid-connected solutions to ‘off-grid’ islands, demonstrating how the region can solve the global power bottleneck and lead the transition to net-zero computing.
