STT GDC Thailand has announced its readiness for an artificial intelligence-enabled data centre to support demand for growing AI usage. STT GDC in Singapore reported its data centres across Southeast Asia have AI readiness. Mr Supparat said by becoming an AI-ready data centre, it requires additional power consumption of 15-20MW, compared to a regular cloud-based data centre's average power consumption of 5-10MW. By year-end, total data centre capacity in Thailand should reach 357.45 MW before exceeding 400MW at the end of 2025. Meanwhile, global cloud data centre provider Google Cloud plans to expand its partnership with Gulf Energy Development Plc on cloud capability, with an agreement scheduled to be signed on Thursday.
