Powering Data Centres in APAC

Energy & Infrastructure Industry Forum

| May.29.2025 | 5:00pm - 7:30pm (Singapore Standard Time)

For more information or to request an invitation, please e-mail Judy Ng.


The APAC data centre market is experiencing remarkable growth, driven by AI, hyperscaler demand and enterprise migration. While Singapore is among the region’s most established markets, ASEAN as a whole is emerging as a new destination for data centre capacity. Each ASEAN country faces its own challenges and opportunities, and developers are focused on reliable, low carbon power sourcing while managing an evolving regulatory landscape.

Please join Orrick Singapore for an exclusive event delving into these topics, including:

  • Case studies that reveal how overcoming early regulatory and technical hurdles can lead to strategic advantages.
  • Lessons learned from mature markets and navigating issues around data sovereignty and power offtake structures in ASEAN markets.
  • Innovative financing structures we expect to see in ASEAN markets.
  • How cutting-edge technologies are reshaping the data centre landscape, including direct-to-chip cooling and new geothermal technologies.
  • The impact of AI on infrastructure design and tenant demands – power density, cooling design, and the demand for AI-specific colocation services.

Our panel will include:

  • Paul Dwyer – Chief Development Officer, Data Centres, ESR
  • Jeth Lee – Regional Director, Legal, Asia-Pacific, Microsoft
  • António Beca Pereira – Director, Energy Management and PPA Origination, EDP Renewables
  • Benjamin Yeoh – Executive Director & Sector Co-Lead, Digital Infrastructure, SMBC
  • Giji John – Partner, Orrick (Moderator)
