NTT Global Data Centers Secures 100MW Renewable Power Deal for New Bangkok Facility

NTT Global Data Centers Secures 100MW Renewable Power Deal for New Bangkok Facility January 26, 2026 In a significant move underscoring the critical link between energy procurement and data center expansion in high-growth markets, NTT Global Data Centers has entered into a major 100-megawatt Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Thailand's B.Grimm Power. The agreement is set to power NTT's upcoming Bangkok 4 data center, highlighting the intensifying focus on securing long-term, sustainable energy sources to fuel the region's digital infrastructure boom. The PPA was formally signed with Amata B.Grimm Power, a subsidiary of the Thai utility giant, and will supply the new facility under development at NTT's campus in Chonburi. Energization of the data center is scheduled for the second quarter of 2027. This deal extends a longstanding partnership between the two companies; B.Grimm already provides power for NTT's Bangkok 2 and Bangkok 3 facilities, both located within the Amata City Chonburi industrial estate. The earlier Bangkok 2 site, launched in 2015, offers 3.6MW of capacity across 3,800 square meters, while the Bangkok 3 facility spans 4,000 square meters with a 12MW capacity. Reflecting on the strategic importance of the agreement, a company statement noted, "Thailand remains a strategic hub for NTT Global Data Centers in APAC, and long-term power planning is central to how we deliver for our customers. We value the trust we’ve built with Amata B.Grimm Power, and we look forward to exploring new opportunities together as the market evolves." The 100MW PPA for Bangkok 4 arrives as the Thai capital solidifies its status as a major data center hub in Southeast Asia, with Data Center Map listing 44 operational facilities across 13 providers in the city. For B.Grimm Power, a leading industrial power producer founded in 1993 with a current installed capacity of 3,338MW, the deal represents a strategic push into the high-demand data center sector. The company has publicly targeted securing PPAs totaling 10 gigawatts by 2030 and reportedly earmarked between 5 billion baht ($145 million) and 7 billion baht ($203 million) in 2024 to support this expansion. This focus was further evidenced last year when B.Grimm partnered with Digital Edge to develop hyperscale data center campuses across Thailand. This agreement signals a broader industry trend where data center operators are proactively forming deep partnerships with energy providers to lock in substantial power capacity. Such moves are essential not only for supporting the computational demands of AI and cloud services but also for managing costs and advancing corporate sustainability goals in competitive regional markets like Bangkok.
