Data Centre Growth in Asia: At the intersection of AI driven power demand and the energy transition

We invite you to join us for an insightful discussion which explores the world of data centre growth in Asia, with a special emphasis on renewable power, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and the increasing power demands driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

This discussion aims to shed light on the growing importance of sustainable energy sources in the data centre industry and the role of PPAs in facilitating this transition, while also addressing the challenges posed by the rapid development of AI and its impact on power requirements. We will cover:

- The current landscape of data centres in Asia and the outlook for edge data centres to manage demand for AI inference

- The challenges and opportunities in adopting renewable power solutions and the role of PPAs in enabling data centres to access renewable power sources

- Understanding data centre financing considerations, whether traditional project finance, real estate finance, holding company finance, sustainable linked, securitisation or leveraged finance structures

Don't miss this opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving data centre industry in Asia and the demands in shaping its future.
