AMACO Strengthens AI-Powered Offshore Energy Infrastructure Across Middle East, East Africa, and Europe
Athens, Greece / Houston, USA — AMACO ENERGY S.A., in partnership with AMACO ENERGY INC., has unveiled a significant strategic initiative aimed at developing AI-driven offshore energy infrastructure throughout the Middle East, East Africa, and Europe. This initiative positions AMACO at the forefront of the intersection between energy and artificial intelligence.
Advancing AI Smart Power Facilities
As part of this initiative, AMACO is progressing with its proposal for an Artificial Intelligence Smart Power Facility in East Africa. This facility aims to tackle one of the pressing challenges of the digital age: the soaring energy costs associated with AI-driven transformation. Artificial intelligence has transitioned from a theoretical concept to a vital component of daily life, revolutionizing industries and accelerating innovation. Technologies ranging from advanced platforms like ChatGPT to real-time logistics systems are proliferating rapidly. However, this growth brings significant energy consumption, which is often underestimated.
Data from the International Energy Agency and AMACO AI.LAB6.7 indicates that global data centers consumed approximately 415 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2024, accounting for about 1.5% of global demand. Projections suggest this figure could more than double by 2030, surpassing 1,100 terawatt-hours, and potentially reaching as high as 1,350 terawatt-hours by 2035. This trend underscores a pivotal shift: artificial intelligence is not merely a technological revolution but also an energy challenge of global proportions.
Regional Focus and Infrastructure Needs
AMACO’s strategy emphasizes regions with robust growth potential and urgent infrastructure requirements. The Middle East is rapidly becoming a global center for artificial intelligence and data center development, bolstered by substantial sovereign investment, abundant energy resources, and strategic geographic advantages. Data center capacity in the Gulf is expected to triple by 2030, increasing from approximately one gigawatt in 2025 to over 3.3 gigawatts. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are at the forefront of this transformation as part of their long-term economic diversification strategies.
East Africa is emerging as a region with high potential for digital growth, yet it grapples with structural challenges, including limited grid capacity, high energy costs, and lengthy infrastructure development timelines. AMACO’s offshore AI-powered energy solution presents a transformative approach by circumventing grid limitations through fully autonomous offshore deployment. This enables quicker development of data centers and digital infrastructure, enhancing regional competitiveness and economic growth. Such an approach could position East Africa as a future hub for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
Addressing European Energy Challenges
Simultaneously, Europe faces mounting pressure to bolster its position in the global AI landscape. The European Union currently holds a minor share of global AI compute capacity compared to the United States. Demand for data centers is projected to rise significantly, primarily driven by artificial intelligence applications. The European Commission’s ambition to expand data center capacity in the coming years highlights the urgent need for scalable and energy-secure solutions. AMACO’s offshore model offers a flexible alternative that can mitigate challenges related to energy availability, permitting, and infrastructure deployment.
While the demand for AI is escalating global energy consumption, it also presents opportunities to enhance efficiency across various sectors. The International Energy Agency estimates that the widespread adoption of AI technologies could reduce global emissions by up to five percent by 2035 through improvements in energy systems, buildings, transportation, and industrial operations. AMACO aligns with this vision by focusing on maximizing energy utilization, minimizing waste, and facilitating the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy systems.
Investment in Data Center Infrastructure
With global investment in data center infrastructure projected to reach approximately $500 billion in 2024, the demand for reliable, scalable, and efficient energy solutions has become a critical factor in the future of digital growth. AMACO’s initiative represents a proactive response to this challenge, bridging the gap between the expansion of artificial intelligence and energy sustainability while reinforcing its role as a global player in next-generation energy infrastructure.
AMACO ENERGY S.A., headquartered in Athens, Greece, along with AMACO ENERGY INC. in Houston, Texas, is committed to advancing the development of AI-driven smart power solutions, emphasizing innovation, efficiency, and the transformation of the global energy landscape.
