While data centres could account for 2% to 30% of national power demand in 2030, a third of ASEAN data centres could be powered by solar and wind. This report explores how rapid data centre growth in ASEAN could impact power sector emissions and highlights the need for faster industry decarbonisation.
“Prioritising solar and wind power would help ensure data centres drive sustainable digital growth rather than deepen reliance on fossil fuels,” said Shabrina Nadhila, Ember's Asia energy analyst. Ember also called for options for smaller data centre operators to procure clean energy.
It estimated that between US$45 billion and US$75 billion will need to be invested in solar and wind capacity by 2030 to power the region's data centres sustainably. Clean energy is already gaining traction in the region. For instance, Malaysia is developing a 1,000 MW solar farm to power the Johor-Singapore special economic zone.
Jakarta, 27 May 2025 – As Southeast Asia has the potential to rapidly become a global hub for data centres, solar and wind could power up to 30% of the region''s data centres in 2030, without relying
