Taipei to see 30MW worth of new data centre capacity by year-end

A further 20MW is still under construction.

Taipei sustained its growth momentum in the first half of 2025, said Cushman and Wakefield in a report. With no new capacity added during this period and demand remaining steady, vacancy rates dropped below 3%, which is among the lowest in Asia Pacific.

“Of the 50MW currently under construction, only 30MW is expected to be delivered by year-end.”

Here’s more from Cushman and Wakefield:

Government-imposed power supply restrictions have constrained data centre capacity growth in northern Taiwan in recent years. However, with policy shifts now promoting expansion into central and southern regions, and power resources gradually being made available, Taiwan’s data centre supply is poised for growth.

The cloud services landscape also advanced, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) announcing the launch of its first cloud region in Taiwan–AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei). This new region enables organizations, particularly in regulated sectors, to store data locally while retaining full control over data residency and movement.

In parallel, Nvidia and Foxconn unveiled plans to build an AI supercomputer powered by 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs, with a total design capacity of 100MW. The system will be used by Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council to provide AI cloud computing resources across industries. Foxconn is expected to leverage the infrastructure to enhance automation and operational efficiency, while researchers from TSMC will also gain access to the supercomputer.

Taiwan’s subsea cable connectivity also continues to improve with six new subsea cables under development – Apricot, E2A, ORCA, Southeast Asia–Japan Cable 2, Taiwan–Matsu No.4, and TPU. These cables are scheduled for completion between 2025 and 2028. Notably, three of them will have direct connections to the U.S., underscoring Taiwan’s growing strategic importance in the global digital infrastructure landscape.
