Singapore-headquartered digital infrastructure platform, DayOne Data Centers has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), to explore energy solutions for DayOne’s data center developments in Asia.
Under the MOU, both parties will explore various energy solutions, from onsite power infrastructure and generation to fuel supply, renewable energy generation, and operations and maintenance services. Sembcorp will serve as DayOne’s technical partner for selected data center projects, leveraging on its capabilities across the energy value chain, according to Sembcorp’s press statement yesterday.
Koh Chiap Khiong, President & CEO, Gas and Related Services, Sembcorp, said, “Powering AI will require energy solutions that can keep pace with the scale and pace of data centre growth. Our collaboration with DayOne allows us to work together on solutions tailored to the needs of its developments.”
Jamie Khoo, CEO of DayOne, said, “The next phase of data center growth requires digital infrastructure and energy solutions to be planned and delivered in a coordinated way. For DayOne, we think about customers’ requirements in scalable land, power, energy and other critical resources from the earliest stages of development. Partnering with Sembcorp gives us an opportunity to explore integrated data center and energy solutions to support DayOne’s continued expansion across the region.”
Recently, Sembcorp has also entered into an MOU with Nxera Singapore to explore renewable and low-carbon energy solutions for Nxera’s data centers in Singapore. Last week, Sembcorp was appointed as an approved aggregator under the Singapore Economic Development Board’s biomethane sandbox, enhancing its low-carbon energy offering for data center customers.
