本月早些时候，澳大利亚房地产企业古德曼集团在茨城县筑波市启动了其在日本规模最大的数据中心建设项目。据路透社2026年10月7日报道，就在几天前，该集团因遭到当地民众反对而放弃了在悉尼建设类似数据中心的计划，如今其在日本的项目又面临越来越多的批评声。
A construction site for one of the largest data center projects in Japan by Australian property group Goodman Group in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, earlier this month | reuters Oct 7, 2026 TSUKUBA, Ibaraki Pref. – Goodman Group, Australia’s largest property firm by market value, faces mounting criticism of what would be its largest data center project in Japan, just days after it scrapped plans for a similar development in Sydney following local resistance.
此次与日本当地居民的纠纷反映出全球范围内对数据中心建设的抵制趋势，许多社区都担心这类项目会对电网、水资源及生态环境造成负面影响。
The dispute with residents in Japan is part of a broader global backlash against data centers, as local communities raise concerns about their impact on power grids, water supplies and local environments.
对古德曼集团而言，这一项目的意义重大。这将是日本规模最大的外资数字基础设施投资项目之一，预计最终建成后可具备1吉瓦的供电能力，总投资额预计高达3万亿日元（约合200亿美元），也将成为日本规模最大的数据中心园区。
For Goodman, the stakes are high. The project is one of the largest foreign-backed digital infrastructure investments in Japan and is expected to become one of the country’s biggest data center campuses, with an eventual capacity of 1 gigawatt — equivalent to an estimated investment of about ¥3 trillion ($20 billion).
