Thailand, [13 January] – STPI, a leader in sustainable infrastructure, is pioneering the development of a data center, strategically positioned in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). The 134-hectare campus is set to redefine industry standards with a unique captive solar farm integrated into the data center’s electrical infrastructure, providing no premium to the grid. Having Roland Berger as market strategy consultant and Quantum data center advisory as technical consultant, the development is set to meet TIA-942 (c) Rated 3 standard and is targeted at hyperscale and AI end users.
Located in Chonburi, the development is designed to accommodate over 100 MW of IT-load and is Positioned less than 45 km from the AAG, MCT and ADC sub-sea cable landing nodes.
Resilient and Reliable Infrastructure:
The campus will have direct access to dual 115 kV transmission lines from two independent substations, providing up to 150 MW of gross power per line, with a total of 300 MW available onsite in 2026. Designed to meet TIA-942(C) standards, the facility also features multiple access roads and up to four diverse fiber optic routes to ensure operational resilience and redundancy.
Within 2 hours by road from Bangkok, the campus is in close proximity to an established availability zone.
Commitment to Sustainability and Clean Energy:
STPI is firmly committed to sustainability, as reflected in this green data center. Supported by a co-located captive solar farm, the facility is designed to maximize clean energy utilization and set to significantly reduce carbon emission from its operation. This initiative is part of STPI’s broader clean energy strategy, which includes a 200 MW solar energy project and ASEAN’s first and largest cross-border wind farm (600 MW capacity), set to begin commercial operations in 2025.
CEO’s Statement:
“This data center development represents a significant milestone for STPI and supports Thailand’s vision to lead in sustainable and innovative technology infrastructure,” said [Masthawin Charnvirakul], CEO of STPI. “With up to 300 MW gross load capacity and a strategic position between key subsea cable landing stations, our campus offers unparalleled connectivity across the Asia-Pacific region.
STPI is committed to simplifying the early-stage development process for multinational data center operators and hyperscale customers by managing land procurement, power access, and permitting with transparency and efficiency. For companies seeking a sustainable, reliable, and strategically located data center, STPI offers a sustainable solution designed to support the future of digital infrastructure
Our continued investment in renewable energy projects, including ASEAN’s wind farm and solar energy initiatives, underscores our dedication to building resilient and environmentally responsible digital infrastructure. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for sustainability in the industry.”
