Asia’s data centre market is booming, driven by AI, cloud computing and 5G. Yet, the sector’s success depends on one key factor — reliable and sustainable energy. Governments and operators are now turning to renewables, hydrogen and small modular reactors (SMRs) to meet rising demand while keeping emissions in check.

Across the region, clean energy is no longer optional. From Malaysia to India, energy security and cost stability are pushing data centre firms to pursue on-site generation and cross-border power purchase agreements (PPAs). This shift is opening new doors for overseas expertise in power optimisation, battery storage and infrastructure development.

As Asia’s digital economy accelerates, clean energy remains the foundation of sustainable growth — and a major opportunity for global companies ready to invest in the region’s data-driven future.
