Thai power producer B Grimm Power PCL and Singapore-headquartered data center platform Digital Edge DC will jointly invest about $1 billion in a Thailand data center.
The data center, which will have a capacity of 100 megawatts (MW), is expected to begin commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2026 in Chonburi province, Thailand.
Situated within Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the flagship project is set to serve as a critical hub for AI and cloud service providers expanding across Southeast Asia. The Chonburi campus has recently received approval from the Thailand Board of Investment, according to a statement on Monday.
Thailand’s digital infrastructure market is booming. With data consumption, cloud adoption, and AI and machine learning workloads expanding at record pace, the country is quickly emerging as a regional tech powerhouse. According to recent industry reports, Thailand’s data center market is projected to grow at over 25 percent CAGR through 2030, with AI-driven compute needs accelerating demand for scalable and energy-efficient facilities.
The government has committed more than $2.7 billion in incentives for data center and cloud investments, reinforcing Thailand’s ambition to become a regional digital hub.
The 100MW EEC project will offer high-density colocation, interconnectivity, and hybrid cloud solutions tailored for hyperscalers, AI workloads, and enterprise digital transformation. Construction will be fast-tracked to meet the urgent needs of global tech players scaling their AI infrastructure in Southeast Asia, with target RFS in Q4, 2026.
“Thailand stands out as one of Asia’s most compelling digital growth markets,” said John Freeman, CEO of Digital Edge. “As demand for AI and machine learning continues to surge, our entry into Thailand comes at an ideal time to support the country’s digital transformation.”
Dr. Harald Link, Group President of B.Grimm Power Plc, added, “Our collaboration with Digital Edge is a major milestone in our commitment to Thailand’s digital future. By combining renewable energy with cutting-edge data center technology, we’re enabling the country’s transformation into a regional AI and cloud innovation hub.”
B Grimm Power is also studying a plan to invest at least $1.6 billion more in additional data center projects with a total capacity of about 200MW, said Usa Nuetap, the company’s head for data center development, Bloomberg reported.
According to Bloomberg, Thailand has secured billions of dollars in investment commitments from global tech giants such as Amazon.com Inc, Alphabet Inc, ByteDance Ltd and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd to build data centers and cloud services.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s government is also offering tax and other incentives to lure investments in data centers as it seeks to establish the country as a hub for artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Backed by private equity fund Stonepeak Partners, Digital Edge operates 24 data centers across India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and South Korea.
