Orange Partners With Morrison on €3b Data Centre Venture Targeting 400 MW in Europe Orange and Morrison are planning a joint venture data centre platform in Europe targeting 400 MW of capacity, backed by a €3b investment to address cloud and AI infrastructure needs and support European digital sovereignty.
The project focuses on accelerating new data centre capacity, which sits close to Orange’s core telecom and cloud activities and could influence how it allocates capital and manages long term infrastructure commitments.
Orange shares trade at €17.18, with the stock up 19.8% year to date, which gives the data centre plan a backdrop of already solid recent share price performance.
The read-through is that Orange is tying more of its future to capital intensive digital infrastructure, so the outcome for shareholders will depend on execution, utilisation of the new capacity and how the joint venture structures returns and risks between the partners. Live-nieuws • Jun 16

Orange, Masmovil Reportedly to Sell Assets to Digi as Remedy for Tie-Up Deal Orange S.A. (ENXTPA:ORA) and Spanish peer MásMóvil Ibercom, S.A. have picked Digi Communications N.V. (BVB:DIGI) to buy assets they plan to divest to address EU antitrust concerns over their Spanish tie-up, two people with knowledge of the matter said on October 24, 2023. The deal is seen as an important test case of whether EU antitrust regulators will relax their tough approach towards mergers that shrink the number of mobile players in a country from four to three. Regulators worry that this may reduce competition. Orange and MasMovil, the second and fourth-largest telecoms providers in Spain, announced the deal, which has an enterprise value of EUR 18.6 billion ($19.7 billion), in July 2022. The European Commission in June warned the companies that the deal, which will reduce the number of mobile players in Spain from four to three, may reduce competition and push up prices in Spain. The EU competition enforcer, which halted its investigation into the deal in July while waiting for the companies to provide requested information, and MasMovil declined to comment on October 24, 2023. There are several companies in talks with Orange and MasMovil to acquire any assets to be divested to allay antitrust concerns. The Commission backs Digi, the people, who have direct knowledge, said. Orange said discussions were continuing with the Commission. "It is not up to Orange to validate the potential remedy taker and remedies. This is up to the Commission. We cannot comment on the details or nature of the ongoing discussions," an Orange spokesperson said. Orange and MasMovil plan to divest spectrum, a customers unit and a brand, as well as offer Digi access to infrastructure, the people said. The package has not been finalised yet and some elements could change. Orange has previously said its European masts company TOTEM was not part of the deal with MasMovil. Orange and MasMovil, which compete with Telefonica (TEF.MC) and Vodafone (VOD.L) in Spain, had been talking to a number of potential buyers of the assets including Digi, Avatel and other smaller rivals in recent months.
