DayOne Partners with Sembcorp to Explore Data Center Energy Solutions Across Asia

DayOne and Sembcorp Sign Energy Partnership

DayOne, a Singapore-headquartered data center developer and operator, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Sembcorp Utilities, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries.

Under the agreement, Sembcorp will act as a technical partner for selected DayOne data center projects. The companies will evaluate energy solutions based on the power requirements of each development.

The collaboration will focus on several areas, including on-site power infrastructure, power generation, fuel supply, renewable energy generation, and operations and maintenance services.

Supporting Growing AI Data Center Power Needs

The partnership comes as the expansion of AI increases the demand for reliable and scalable power supplies for data centers. Both companies aim to explore ways to coordinate energy planning with data center development from the early stages of projects.

Koh Chiap Khiong, President and CEO of Gas and Related Services at Sembcorp, said the collaboration would help the companies explore energy solutions suited to DayOne’s developments and support the expansion of digital infrastructure across Asia.

Jamie Khoo, CEO of DayOne, said that future data center growth would require digital infrastructure and energy solutions to be planned together. He highlighted the importance of securing land, power, energy, and other critical resources early in the development process.

DayOne’s Renewable Energy Goals

DayOne aims to use 100% renewable energy by 2030, where market conditions allow. The company already has renewable energy arrangements in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

These arrangements include a power purchase agreement with Sembcorp for DayOne’s upcoming SG1 data center in Singapore. The new MOU provides an opportunity for both companies to explore additional energy solutions for DayOne’s regional expansion.

Sembcorp Expands Data Center Energy Partnerships

In addition, Sembcorp was recently appointed as an approved aggregator under the Singapore Economic Development Board’s biomethane sandbox, supporting the development of its low-carbon energy offerings for data center customers.
