FRANKFURT, Aug 13 (Reuters) - RWE RWEG.DE is close to striking two deals with data centre operators for two of its location it has made available for such projects, the company said on Thursday alongside final first-half results.
"We own 30 sites with good electricity infrastructure. That is a real asset. They are suitable not only for new gas-fired power plants or batteries, but also for data centres," Markus Krebber told journalists.
"For data centres alone, we see potential at 10 sites and are developing projects there at high speed," he said.
Two sites were nearing agreement, RWE said.
