onstantin Nikolsky, Development Director of Filanko Group, told a ComNews correspondent that the company did not stop the current project with the implementation of data processing centers (DPCs) in 2024, but will not deliver any new facilities in 2025. "The launch of the next DPC is planned no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2026, and the financial model includes prices for services that are about 80% higher than the 2024 level. This is the only way we can plan the payback of the project in any foreseeable time frame. It is clear that such a sharp jump in prices directly depends on the very high key rate. We are also forced to include in the model a forecast for the growth of the key rate by another 2 percentage points," he emphasized.
the regulator for a sri lanka whatsapp resource reduction in the key rate, but the company closely monitors all government initiatives in this regard.
Igor Dorofeev, President of the Association of Data Center Industry Participants, told a ComNews correspondent that operators and investors are already suspending new projects from November 2023 precisely because of the increase in the key rate. "Construction of data centers using borrowed funds is becoming unprofitable," he noted.
Igor Dorofeev believes that this situation will be corrected either by market methods, when the cost of data center services increases due to the deficit, or if data centers receive preferences - for example, they are equated with IT companies or given preferential lending rates. "There are currently no implementation mechanisms for the latter, no industry identity, and what a data center is is de jure unclear. The Association has been proposing the introduction of a specialized all-Russian classifier of types of economic activity (OKVED) for four years now, all the justifications are there, and it can be introduced in a matter of weeks. At the same time, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation ties the introduction of the OKVED code to the adoption of amendments to Federal Law No. 126 "On Communications" regarding the definition of a data center. This bill will soon be four years old, it has constantly drawn criticism from the industry community, at the moment, conflicts continue to remain, in addition, due to its long history, it no longer corresponds to the current situation, needs revision, a new legal and anti-corruption examination. Thus, the industry has risks that amendments to the federal law may be adopted for several more years, and data centers will be without OKVED and benefits," said Igor Dorofeev.
The companies involved in the construction of data centers in Moscow, namely, OOO DC 3Data, OOO Svyaz VSD (Linxdatacenter), OOO Datapro (DataPro), OOO TrustInfo, PAO Sibur Holding, and the Rostec State Corporation, did not respond to questions from a ComNews correspondent.
We built, we built and finally we built it
Along with private companies, two state corporations operate in the Russian data center market: PJSC Rostelecom (represented by RTK-TsOD) and GC Rosatom (represented by JSC Atomdata). Their revenue and profits allow them to finance the construction (and purchase) of data centers without borrowing, so the refinancing rate is not a barrier for these state holdings to continue building data centers or expanding existing data centers.
