DIG unveils audacious plan to build 1.5GW of data centre parks in Thailand

New player DIG today unveiled plans for 1.5GW of data centre parks in 3 locations across Thailand - 13 times the country's current capacity.

Doma Infrastructure Group (DIG) is co-founded by Clement Goh, who I first interviewed exactly 10 years ago when he was at Equinix - it was about an outage that wasn't.

I spoke with him this morning, and in this exclusive with W.Media, Clement told me about his ambitious plans to develop data centre parks of up to 1.5GW in the Land of Smiles.

Campuses are out, parks are in

Make no mistake about it: The 1,500MW of capacity that DIG is planning, if fully built up, will reshape the Thailand data centre landscape.

The reason? Thailand currently has just 110MW of data centres either in operation or under construction. This means we are looking at an unprecedented increase in capacity.

The three Thai data centre parks are located in the provinces of:

• Chachoengsao.
• Chonburi.
• Rayong.

Sceptics will immediately ask: has DIG secured the power for these massive data centre parks?

• Clement told me the majority of the power has already been secured through their partner Silicon Tech Park (STP), a Thai tech park operator.
• Negotiations are also ongoing to potentially access renewables (hydropower) from Laos, right across the Thai border.

Expected ready for service date? Q3 of 2026.

New business model

DIG isn't your typical data centre operator. Instead, it will serve as the master developer for establishing and managing data centre parks.

This means DIG will:

• Secure the required permits.
• Negotiate access to power, water.
• Get fibre networks in place.
• Construct the data centre.

It will not operate the data centre, however. The idea? To serve data centre operators and cloud hyperscalers, not compete with them.

Next step: Malaysia, Australia

DIG has its eyes not just on the Thai market. Clement says his firm is looking at Southeast Asia, Australia, and potentially North Asia.

One of the next on the list appears to be Malaysia. After all, one can't help but notice Goh Gary announcing his joining DIG as the Managing Director of Malaysia last night.

Waiting for Gary to share photos of DIG's upcoming Malaysia data centre park. 😎
