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.
Riyadh holds 14 active projects with 1,216 MW of planned IT load between them, and Dawiyat Riyadh data centre ranks 8th by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 5 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Riyadh, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only Saudi Electricity Company project ArusGrid tracks. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 24 March 2025.
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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 29 April 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

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.
