  • 110/20 kV substation — reliable power supply for industrial consumers.
  • Utilities ready — water, electricity and fibre-optic internet.
  • Railway 4.5 km away — efficient freight and logistics.
  • Room to expand — land, infrastructure and a community ready for your growth.

Energy & sustainability

Green energy produced at the factory gate

Two photovoltaic parks under development right next to the industrial park, to be completed in Q2 2027 — sustainable operations and a low carbon footprint for park residents.

Suitable uses

Manufacturing, logistics, data centre or AI campus

The 10 hectares on national road DN 79A suit several types of investment. Municipal land free of litigation, a 110/20 kV substation and local photovoltaic generation also make the site fit for energy-intensive projects — a data centre (data center) or an AI campus.

01

Data centre (data center)

Connection to the 110/20 kV substation, green power generated right next door and battery storage — the basis for a data center with a local PPA and predictable energy costs.

02

AI campus

Flat land, expandable within the 25 ha total, and access to electrical capacity — suited to an AI campus built out in phases, with room for additional capacity.

03

Manufacturing and assembly

Light manufacturing halls, automotive components, wood processing or agri-food processing, supported by regional supply chains that already work.

04

Logistics and warehousing

DN 79A, one hour to the A1 motorway and a railway 4.5 km away — regional warehousing and distribution towards Western European markets.

Data Centers & AI Infrastructure

Buteni offers solid power fundamentals for the modular development of data centres and AI/HPC infrastructure. The site sits close to two 20 kV medium-voltage lines and to the 110 kV Buteni substation, which is being upgraded. Local photovoltaic generation, storage systems and the option of long-term PPA contracts can give investors green energy, predictable costs and phased development.

An area with a real industrial tradition

Buteni and the neighbouring towns already have a consolidated manufacturing profile: electrical equipment, automotive components, wood processing, textiles and leather, machining, furniture and construction. The future industrial park plugs into regional production and supply chains that already work.
