Gorilla Technology proposes 6MW US colocation acquisition

Gorilla Technology Group plans to enter the US market through the proposed acquisition of a 6MW operational colocation facility, with completion expected in late November 2026, according to Data Center Dynamics. The acquisition is subject to due diligence covering infrastructure assessment, utility and power verification, property and lease review, site inspection and preparation of the development programme.

Gorilla says the operational site has a pathway to 36MW of total power capacity, with written support from local utilities for another 30MW over an 18-month timetable. The facility is already revenue-generating and will continue its current operations after the proposed acquisition.

The acquisition is the first step in an expansion strategy that Gorilla says will secure 100MW of capacity over the next year and a half. Gorilla currently has several AI compute deployments in data centers across Asia-Pacific, including India, Thailand and Indonesia. The 100MW target is about three times the 36MW maximum for this site.

"This is a defining step in Gorilla's expansion into the US," chairman and CEO Jay Chandan said, according to Data Center Dynamics. Chandan said the company chose to own the data-center platform because it gives Gorilla more control over deployment timelines, power, cooling and operating economics.

The report did not name the site's location or current owner and did not disclose the purchase price or the terms attached to the 30MW of utility support. Gorilla says expansion will happen in phases around customer requirements and next-generation GPU systems, while the existing colocation business continues.
