Digital Edge Singapore Holdings and B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited have commenced construction on their first joint data centre in Thailand, marking a significant step in the country’s digital infrastructure development. The 100-megawatt campus, located in Chonburi within Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, is part of a US$1b investment plan to establish hyperscale and AI-ready data centres across the nation. The project, announced in June, is expected to be ready for service by Q4 2026.
The data centre will serve as a critical hub for AI and cloud service providers expanding in Southeast Asia, offering high-density colocation, advanced interconnectivity, and hybrid cloud solutions. This initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for AI and machine learning capabilities, supporting enterprises undergoing digital transformations.
John Freeman, CEO of Digital Edge, highlighted the project’s significance: “Breaking ground on our first campus in Chonburi is a pivotal moment for Digital Edge. Together with B.Grimm Power, we are delivering AI-ready sustainable infrastructure at a scale and speed that matches the ambitions of our customers and the needs of the region.”
The facility will be powered by B.Grimm Power’s renewable energy portfolio, aligning with Thailand’s sustainability goals. Dr Harald Link, Group President of B.Grimm Power, stated, “Today’s groundbreaking marks the next step in our partnership to realise our shared vision of combining green energy and advanced technology to power Thailand’s digital future.”
This development is expected to strengthen Thailand’s position as a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia, catering to global tech leaders and supporting the country’s rapid digital transformation.
