Filipche publishes document: company claims 100 MW power and Vardar access for data centre
Filipche published a document saying a company claims to have 100 MW of power and access to the Vardar River for a data centre.
On 26 August 2026 at 14:59 Venko Filipche published a document in which a company claims it has access to 100 MW of electrical capacity and access to the Vardar River to build or operate a data centre.
The document, made public by Filipche, contains the assertion that the company can secure 100 MW of power and has rights to the riverbank of the Vardar for the proposed facility. The company's name is not specified in the publication.
Such a claim raises immediate questions about the technical and legal feasibility: a data centre requiring 100 MW would be among the largest in the region and would demand confirmed long‑term energy supply contracts, grid connections and environmental clearances.
The announcement is likely to trigger scrutiny from several state bodies — grid operators, water authorities and permitting agencies — which must verify whether the claimed energy capacity and river access are real and compliant with regulations.
Filipche's publication has drawn public attention to the issue and put pressure on authorities to explain what checks have been, or will be, made to confirm the document's assertions and to protect the river's environmental status.
Further information about the company behind the claim, the source of the electricity and any existing permits was not included in the released document; officials will have to provide clarification and, if necessary, open formal inquiries.
