B.Grimm and Digital Edge Partner on $1B AI-Ready, Green-Powered Data Center Campus in Thailand

B.Grimm Power and Digital Edge have announced a joint investment of US$1 billion to develop a series of hyperscale data center campuses across Thailand, starting with a flagship 100 MW facility in the country’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).

Announced in early June, the initiative is one of Southeast Asia’s most ambitious energy-infrastructure partnerships in support of AI-ready infrastructure. According to company statements, the facilities are being designed from the ground up to meet growing demand from cloud service providers and AI technology firms requiring high-density, low-latency, and energy-efficient compute infrastructure.

The joint venture combines Digital Edge’s expertise in data center design and operations with B.Grimm Power’s experience in energy infrastructure and renewable generation. The partnership includes a commitment to integrate renewable energy into the data centers’ power mix, positioning the project as a model for sustainable AI infrastructure in Asia.

The first campus, located in Chonburi province, is targeted for readiness by Q4 2026 and is expected to attract major global tenants in need of AI compute capacity across Southeast Asia. The partners emphasize that the new facility will incorporate advanced cooling systems, modular buildouts, and renewable energy sourcing strategies to minimize carbon emissions.

The Eastern Economic Corridor has been a strategic focus for Thailand’s digital economy expansion, offering a hub for logistics, manufacturing, and technology. This project aligns with broader efforts by Thailand’s government to attract high-value digital investments while meeting sustainability goals, including a national target of 50% renewable electricity by 2037.

Executives from both companies have confirmed that the data center development pipeline will include multiple phases, potentially expanding across other regional markets. The project is also expected to serve as a blueprint for integrating power sector modernization with AI infrastructure growth in fast-developing economies.
