Canberra Data Centres, known as CDC, was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Canberra, led by founder and chief executive Greg Boorer. It is privately held, with Infratil holding 49.72 per cent alongside the Australian Government's Future Fund, the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation and management. Infratil is the listed major shareholder; CDC itself is not listed. CDC's Australian network is covered in its Australian profile.
In New Zealand, CDC operates three data centres across two Auckland campuses. By the company's own figures, Silverdale Campus One provides 22MW and is expected to grow beyond 60MW, Hobsonville Campus One provides 22MW and Hobsonville Campus Two provides 54MW, with total Auckland capacity planned above 220MW. The New Zealand sites have run carbon-neutral since 2023.
Contact Energy and CDC will seek resource consent for a 250MW data centre at Stratford in Taranaki, on the site of a gas plant Contact retired in 2026. The project sits at the proposal stage. Contact has said it is prepared to take an equity interest of up to 50 per cent, and UBS has put the build at between NZ$4.5 billion and NZ$5 billion. Infratil holds 49.72 per cent of CDC and 9.08 per cent of Contact.
CDC runs a single business across Australia and New Zealand. Infratil reported that CDC's contracted capacity passed 1GW and its independent valuation reached A$18.5 billion, or about NZ$22.5 billion, at 30 June 2026, with a development pipeline of about 3.9GW to 2040. These are group totals and are not specific to New Zealand.
