The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Monday said it has signed with GSA Data Center 01 Company Limited (GSA) a loan of 900 million baht (about 27.8 million U.S. dollars) to fund the development, construction, and operation of a 25.6-megawatt colocation green data center in Thailand.

"This is ADB's first lending in the data center sector in Thailand, and in the region as well," said ADB Country Director for Thailand Anouj Mehta.

"As the demand for digital services grows, it is crucial to prioritize energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in this sector to significantly reduce our carbon footprint, support environmental goals, and pave the way for a greener, more resilient digital infrastructure," the country director said.

Founded in 2022, GSA is a joint venture of Gulf Development, one of Thailand's largest independent power producers. GSA is scheduled to begin commercial operations by 2025.
