NTT GDC Secures 100MW Power Deal for Bangkok 4 Data Centre
NTT Global Data Centres (GDC), the world’s third-largest data centre provider, has signed a 100MW power purchase agreement with Thailand’s B.Grimm Power, securing energy for its upcoming Bangkok 4 Data Centre. According to Developing Telecoms, the new facility, located at NTT’s Chonburi campus, is slated to go live in Q2 2027, solidifying Thailand’s role as a key strategic hub for NTT in the APAC region.
Inside the 100MW Deal
The 100MW agreement was signed with Amata B.Grimm Power, a division of the Thai energy company B.Grimm Power. This deal builds on an ongoing partnership between the two companies: B.Grimm currently powers NTT’s Bangkok 2 and 3 data centres, both situated at the Amata City Chonburi industrial estate. The Bangkok 2 data centre, which launched in 2015, offers 3.6MW over 3,800 square meters, while Bangkok 3 spans 4,000 square meters with a capacity of 12MW.
The upcoming Bangkok 4 facility will expand NTT’s data centre footprint in Thailand, with the company emphasizing the importance of long-term power planning in supporting customer needs. The Chonburi campus is increasingly emerging as a key location for data centre development in the APAC region.
Why This Deal Matters
The announcement comes at a time when the Bangkok metropolitan area is experiencing a surge in data centre investment. With its 100MW capacity, the Bangkok 4 facility positions NTT to meet growing demand for cloud services and digital infrastructure in Southeast Asia, where nations like Thailand are modernizing their economies and investing in digital transformation.
Meanwhile, B.Grimm Power, which has 4,178MW of generating capacity across 15 countries, has been actively expanding into the data centre energy market. The company has ambitious plans to increase its total capacity to 10,000MW by 2030. Industry observers see these moves as part of a broader trend of regional energy producers targeting high-growth sectors like data centres, which require reliable and scalable power supplies.
Outlook: Energy Security and Market Evolution
NTT GDC’s partnership with B.Grimm highlights the intersection of two critical industries—data centres and energy. As power demands soar in the wake of accelerated digitalization, data centre operators must secure sustainable and scalable energy sources to remain competitive. The move also signals that Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, specifically Chonburi, is set to become a nexus for both digital and energy infrastructure development.
For competitors and market watchers, this deal underscores the growing importance of regional partnerships in APAC to secure energy supplies and drive growth in cloud and colocation markets. If successful, the collaboration could set a precedent for how energy and data centre companies cooperate in a rapidly changing business environment.
Will other energy providers in Southeast Asia follow B.Grimm’s lead in targeting data centre operators? It’s a question worth watching as the region builds out its digital backbone.
