DayOne Data Centers and Sembcorp Utilities announced October 29 that they signed a memorandum of understanding to explore energy solutions for DayOne’s Asian data-center developments.
Sembcorp will act as a technical partner for selected projects. The companies said their evaluation could cover on-site power infrastructure, generation, fuel supply, renewable energy and operations and maintenance.
The agreement establishes a framework for assessing feasibility, commercial cases and implementation options. It does not announce construction of a particular power plant or a completed new electricity-supply contract.
DayOne said the collaboration supports its approach of planning power needs early in data-center development, alongside land, water and connectivity. It aims to reduce delivery risks as customers expand computing capacity.
The companies already have a power-purchase agreement for DayOne’s upcoming SG1 facility in Singapore. That existing arrangement is background to the broader framework announced Thursday.
The new memorandum concerns projects in Asia. The companies describe artificial-intelligence adoption as a driver of increasingly complex electricity requirements; the announcement provides no quantified demand forecast or guaranteed project timetable.
