Expansion in the Data Centre Sector for SKS Technologies
SKS Technologies Group Ltd has secured an additional $80 million contract for a data centre project in Melbourne, bringing the total contract value to $210 million. The project involves the design and construction of critical electrical systems and infrastructure for a hyperscale data centre facility. This expanded scope includes additional medium and high voltage works, with the project expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2027.
The increased contract value demonstrates SKS Technologies' ability to convert pipeline opportunities into awarded projects and indicates broader market confidence in the business's capability to reliably deliver mission-critical projects at scale. The company is now a fixture in the Victorian data centre market, having completed projects for most of the global data centre hyperscalers. SKS also plans to build momentum in the New South Wales data centre market, recently securing a $3 million contract for an electrical infrastructure upgrade.
