Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Saudi Arabia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Saudi Arabia.
Dammam / Eastern Province holds 8 active projects with 370 MW of planned IT load between them, and Quantum Switch Tamasuk SPARK data centre ranks third by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 2 are under construction, 1 is being commissioned and 1 is at the land and permitting stage. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Dammam / Eastern Province, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only Quantum Switch Tamasuk project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the King Salman Energy Park (SPARK). Named funding comes from Natixis as debt. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The dated record runs from announced only on 7 February 2022 to under construction on 18 August 2022.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Saudi Arabia, as of 19 November 2025, is recorded as “Case-by-case authorisation only”. ArusGrid holds 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 17 September 2022, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
No public signal either way.
Nothing found in the public record. This describes the record, not the company, and it is not evidence that access was sought or denied. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.
