On 3 July 2026, EDF launched a new Call for Expressions of Interest (CEI) for a former industrial site located in Creys-Mépieu, with the objective of enabling the development of a large-scale data center under a long-term building lease.

To support digital companies in the development of their projects, EDF offers:

  • Land that can be quickly mobilised, with strong potential for electrical connection, significantly reducing completion times.

  • Personalised support throughout all the necessary steps for their project, from design to commissioning.

  • Electricity supply and service offerings tailored to meet the specific needs of interested operators.

This CEI aims to select digital companies that can design, build and operate high-power data centers. At the end of the CEI, the winner will be selected on the basis of objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria, including: 

  •  A solid technical, legal and financial structure.
  • A project compatible with the characteristics of the site and the existing constraints, particularly in terms of environmental footprint.

 This CEI will not be involve the sale of land but of a building lease.
