Data centre capacity across the region is set to double by 2028. Yet a supply gap of 15GW is already emerging2. Meeting this escalating need will require hundreds of billions in capital and fast.<\/p>\n
Adding to the challenge is that Asia\u2019s data centres are not scaling in isolation: rather, the region competes globally for capital and within the wider infrastructure asset class and in particular fibre, transport and energy.<\/p>\n
With debt investors adopting a global approach in their data centre capital allocation ensuring APAC remains attractive from a \u201crelative value\u201d investment standpoint is key to attracting a sufficient level of capital to support this build out.<\/p>\n
To attract global capital, the region must align with global expectations: strong credit, pricing discipline, and sustainability \u2013 not only in emissions, but in its impact on land, water, and communities.<\/p>\n
A stark challenge confronts Asia\u2019s data centre industry: scale digital infrastructure and embed sustainability at the core. Without decisive action, the region risks locking in high-emission systems and losing out to more investor-friendly markets.<\/p>\n
This paper explores the convergence of three forces: surging digital demand, the urgency of sustainability, and shifting investor priorities. Success lies in aligning all three. It\u2019s about what gets built, and how it\u2019s financed, governed, and measured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
