Pan-Asian data centre operator Digital Edge and Thai energy company B.Grimm Power announced on Thursday that they have broken ground on their first joint data centre in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).

The groundbreaking event officially kicked off construction for a flagship 100MW campus in Chonburi under a joint venture formed by Digital Edge and B.Grimm in June this year.

Digital Edge said the campus is part of a US$1 billion investment plan to deliver hyperscale and AI-ready data centre campuses across the country, powered by B.Grimm Power’s renewable energy portfolio.

“This campus will be a cornerstone of Thailand’s rapid digital transformation, meeting the surging demand for AI and machine learning,” said Digital Edge CEO John Freeman in a statement.

Digital Edge and B.Grimm also said the Chonburi campus 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 for hyperscalers, AI workloads, and enterprises undergoing digital transformation.

“This facility will not only serve global tech leaders but also strengthen the country’s position as a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia,” said Dr. Harald Link, group president of B.Grimm Power PCL.
