Industry Insight | Are Data Centers Becoming the Next Major Energy Consumer in ASEAN？
The expansion of NTT Global Data Centers’ fourth data center project in Thailand, supported by a 100MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Amata Grimm Power, once again highlights a key industry trend: data centers are rapidly becoming one of the most energy-intensive and strategically important sectors in ASEAN.
With cloud services, AI applications, and digital infrastructure accelerating across the region, reliable, long-term and scalable power supply is no longer optional — it is critical. Thailand, in particular, is emerging as a preferred destination for data center investments, driven by industrial estate readiness, grid stability, and structured PPA frameworks.
This growing intersection between digital infrastructure and smart energy solutions raises important questions for the industry:
How can clean and stable power keep pace with surging data demand?
What role will PPAs and integrated energy solutions play in future data center developments?
At ASEE-ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo, these discussions are at the core of our platform, bringing together energy developers, technology providers, investors, and policymakers to explore the future of data center energy in ASEAN.
