A proposed 800-megawatt data centre for South Australia is set to be one of the largest in the Asia Pacific.

Locals say the $10 billion development has "come out of the blue", holding concerns it will deplete water from the River Murray.

Australian tech company IREN has signed a local transmission connection agreement and hopes to be online by 2028.
