The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has signed a green loan worth THB 900 million (USD 26.8 million) with GSA Data Center 01 Company Limited (GSA) to finance a 25.6 MW colocation green data center in Samut Prakan, Thailand.
The facility will be built to Tier III standards, with a designed power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.4 and an expected LEED Gold certification. This marks ADB’s first loan in Thailand’s data center sector. Most of the center’s space will be leased to technology and AI companies, with renewable energy options offered through certificates and procurement.
The project aligns with Thailand’s climate commitments-30 per cent emissions reduction by 2030, carbon neutrality by 2050, and net zero by 2065. It is also supported by ADB’s Bio Circular Green Growth (BCG) program, which provided due diligence on data center emissions and renewable energy procurement.
GSA is a joint venture between Gulf Development, Singtel, and AIS. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2025.
