Empyrion Digital has announced plans to develop a 7 MW edge data centre in Taipei, Taiwan.

The facility, dubbed TW1, has been designed to meet the needs of both cloud and high-performance AI computing.

The site utilises advanced cooling technology and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to achieve a PUE of 1.33 or lower and a WUE of close to net zero. Upon completion, TW1 will also receive Taiwan’s Green Building Gold Certification.

Empyrion has said it has already secured 10 MW of power in Neihu, a technology business district of Taipei.

“We are excited to expand into Taiwan and this investment is another step forward in the company’s ambition to grow in Asia where land and power are scarce,” said Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital.

“With its robust semiconductor industry and tech-savvy talent pool, Taiwan is a strategic location for us to build the next generation of AI-ready data centres. Our presence here will ensure that businesses in Taiwan have access to the digital infrastructure necessary to stay competitive and foster deeper collaboration between Taiwan and global technology ecosystems.”

He added, “TW1 will add to our existing data centre cluster in Singapore, Korea and Japan, ensuring we are well-positioned to capture wholesale and edge co-location demand and empower our customers with flexible deployment solutions across the four markets.”

Construction for the TW1 data centre is expected to commence in 2025 with a completion date set for 2027.

Empyrion Digital currently operates a 7.7 MW data centre in Singapore, is constructing a 29.4 MW data centre in Seoul, and will commence construction of a 25 MW data centre in Tokyo in early 2025.
