- AirTrunk 计划投资超过50亿澳元，在墨尔本西北部新建一个354兆瓦的超大规模数据中心园区（MEL2），使其在该市的总容量提升至630兆瓦以上。
- 此次扩张支持澳大利亚的国家人工智能计划，但也引发了人们对大规模数字基础设施在经济和环境方面权衡的质疑。
事件回顾：AirTrunk 确定墨尔本第二个超大规模数据中心园区选址
澳大利亚数据中心运营商 AirTrunk已在墨尔本西北部购得土地，用于建设该市的第二个超大规模数据中心园区，即MEL2。根据公司2025年12月24日的公告，该设施将拥有超过354兆瓦（MW）的容量，并代表着超过50亿澳元的新直接投资。
建成后，MEL2将与AirTrunk现有的墨尔本园区MEL1形成互补，使该公司在该市的可部署数据中心总容量超过630兆瓦。在全澳范围内，该运营商将运营五个园区，包括悉尼的三个和墨尔本的两个，总容量超过1.2吉瓦。
AirTrunk表示，新园区在建设期间将创造超过4000个就业岗位，以及200多个直接运营岗位，并在当地供应链中增加超过1000个全职工作岗位。维多利亚州州长杰辛塔·艾伦对此投资表示欢迎，并强调其在增强该州数字基础设施和技术生态系统方面的潜在作用。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
墨尔本的扩张紧随AirTrunk近期宣布在日本大阪新建一个名为OSK2的超大规模园区之后。MEL2和OSK2将共同进一步扩大该公司在亚太和中东市场的版图，公司目前计划在这些市场运营至少15个数据中心。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.

为何重要
AirTrunk在墨尔本的扩张正值全球对云计算和人工智能（AI）基础设施需求激增之际。澳大利亚于2025年底发布的《国家人工智能计划》提出了通过投资基础设施和技能，将该国打造为全球AI枢纽的雄心，重点关注在各行业分配利益的同时确保负责任的治理。支持者认为MEL2是实现这些目标的具体步骤。 另见: 罗伯特·纽沃斯.
然而，关于此类大规模数字基础设施的广泛影响仍然存在疑问。尽管数据中心常被宣传为创新和经济增长的关键推动力，但它们也有显著的能源和资源需求。澳大利亚的数据中心行业已占数字经济投资的相当大一部分，预计到2030年将继续扩大对电网和水资源基础设施的投资。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.
批评者可能会问，在建设阶段之后，就业预测是否能有效实现，以及经济效益是否足以证明将资源集中在超大规模设施上是合理的。与该领域其他重大投资的比较——例如亚马逊在澳大利亚数据中心数十亿澳元的扩张——既显示了竞争动态，也表明政策制定者面临越来越大的压力，需要在增长与长期可持续性及社区成果之间取得平衡。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.
在地方层面，虽然墨尔本作为关键连接枢纽的地位使其对数字基础设施具有吸引力，但城市规划者和环保倡导者可能会质疑优先考虑大规模数据中心园区而非其他形式发展所隐含的权衡。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.
