Digital Edge, a pan-Asian data center platform backed by global infrastructure investor Stonepeak, and B.Grimm Power Public Company (BGRIM), a Thailand’s energy firm have celebrated the groundbreaking of their first joint data center in Thailand.
This marks the official start of construction for the flagship 100-megawatt (MW) campus, an integrated facility under the Digital Edge and B.Grimm Power joint venture announced in June 2025. Part of a US$1.0 billion investment plan to deliver hyperscale and AI-ready data center campuses across the country, the Chonburi site within Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) will set new benchmarks for sustainability, scalability, and high-performance infrastructure. Once completed, it will serve as a critical hub for AI and cloud service providers expanding across Southeast Asia, offering high-density colocation, advanced interconnectivity, and hybrid cloud solutions tailored to the needs of hyperscalers, AI workloads, and enterprises undergoing digital transformations. Construction is being expedited to meet client expectations, with a target Ready-for-Service (RFS) date in Q4 2026.
Powered by B.Grimm Power’s extensive renewable energy portfolio and designed to achieve industry-leading energy efficiency, the Bangkok campus will play a key role in enabling AI-at-scale while supporting Thailand’s sustainability goals.
“Breaking ground on our first campus in Chonburi is a pivotal moment for Digital Edge,” said John Freeman, CEO of 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. This campus will be a cornerstone of Thailand’s rapid digital transformation, meeting the surging demand for AI and machine learning.”
Dr. Harald Link, Group President of B.Grimm Power PCL, commented: “Today’s groundbreaking marks the next step in our partnership to realize our shared vision of combining green energy and advanced technology to power Thailand’s digital future. This facility will not only serve global tech leaders but also strengthen the country’s position as a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia.”
Construction is now underway with a target Ready-for-Service (RFS) date in Q4 2026.
