B.Grimm Power plans 250 MW data center, lifts 2030 target to 500 MW
In brief
- B.Grimm Power plans a 250 MW data center with an overseas partner it hasn't named.
- The project lifts B.Grimm's 2030 data center capacity target to 500 MW.
- The target stood at 300 MW a month earlier.
- B.Grimm's Digital Edge campus in Chonburi is backed by an $880 million green loan.
An AI-driven bet
Chairman Harald Link tied the decision directly to rising data center demand driven by artificial intelligence, according to Crypto Briefing. The report doesn't carry a direct quote from him.
Who the partner is remains the open question.
B.Grimm hasn't publicly named the overseas company behind the new 250 MW project, and the report doesn't spell out what each side brings to the deal. Separately, the company is exploring roughly 200 MW of data center developments in South Korea and Japan (those projects are still under study, not committed).
Crypto Briefing read the jump from 300 MW to 500 MW in a single month as a sign of a company moving quickly. That's the outlet's analysis, not a statement from B.Grimm.
The Digital Edge campus
B.Grimm already runs a joint venture with Digital Edge, a Singapore-based data center operator. The two are developing a hyperscale campus in Chonburi, inside Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), with an initial design capacity of around 96 to 100 MW, per the report. It's backed by an $880 million green loan, meaning the financing is tied to environmental and sustainability criteria.
The first phase is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027, with operations rolling out in phases.
Power producer meets compute
B.Grimm is a major Thai industrial power producer with installed generating capacity of more than 3 GW, and it's building a growing portfolio of renewable energy projects. The 500 MW data center target works out to roughly a sixth of that installed base, according to the report.
Thailand has been pushing to attract data center and AI investment, including projects linked to major tech firms. The EEC (where the Digital Edge campus sits) has long been the government's showcase zone for advanced industry and foreign capital.
