B.Grimm Power Plc and Singapore-based Digital Edge have announced a US$1 billion investment to develop a 100-megawatt data centre in Thailand, set to launch by the fourth quarter of 2026. The facility aims to meet growing demand for AI, cloud, and digital services across Southeast Asia.

Located in Chon Buri, approximately 100km from Bangkok, the data centre will be fast-tracked to support global technology companies expanding their AI infrastructure in the region.
This project aligns with Thailand’s push to strengthen its digital infrastructure, backed by government incentives and pro-investment policies. Recent major tech investments in Thailand include:
-
ByteDance (TikTok): US$8.8 billion over five years
Alphabet (Google): US$1 billion for a planned data centre
-
Microsoft: Construction of its first regional data centre
-
US$3 billion in data and energy projects approved by Thailand’s investment board (BOI) in May
The new data centre will prioritise sustainability by using Thailand’s clean energy grid, aligning with the carbon-neutral goals of global tech firms.

B.Grimm Power is also exploring additional investments of up to US$1.6 billion to expand data centre capacity by another 200 megawatts, according to Usa Nuetap, Head of Data Centre Development at B.Grimm Power.
This partnership reflects a strategic convergence of digital and energy infrastructure, further positioning Thailand as a rising hub in Asia’s digital economy.
