Projects in Key Markets
Epoch Digital aims to develop, own, and operate a scalable and geographically diversified portfolio of data centres across strategic and highly selective markets in Asia. These are areas where hyperscale customers are experiencing imminent demand, and where Actis and the leadership team of Epoch Digital enjoy a competitive advantage, the company said.
The first project is a 23 MW data centre in Taipei, Taiwan. The second, located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, will provide 120 MW of capacity to meet the data centre demand from Singapore, which has faced a moratorium on new data centres since 2019. The third project is a data centre in Greater Seoul, South Korea. However, Actis has not disclosed the IT capacity of its third project.
