Kai Shin Satsumasendai AI Data Center — commercial campus

Announced last observed as of 2026-07-18 · Project announcement

The prefecture identifies the proposed facility at Circular Park 1-1 inside Circular Park Kyushu. Kai Shin intends to supply AI and cloud computing customers including overseas hyperscalers. The plan begins with a small proof-of-concept unit, then expands according to demand toward 350 MW by March 2033. The roughly JPY 850 billion investment forecast applies at 350 MW and may change. Capacity is a planned project scale; the source does not label it IT load. evidence
