This could be Taiwan’s premier hyperscale data centre facility

The facility is targeting a capacity of over 100MW.

The Taiwan data centre market is experiencing unprecedented demand as global hyperscalers concentrate AI investments in Taoyuan according to a JLL report, leveraging the country’s semiconductor ecosystem to address regional capacity constraints.

“A-Top Cloud Data Centre leads supply expansion, operating at 70% utilisation with phased growth from 16 MW to 80 MW by 2028, ultimately targeting 100+ MW. The facility features high-density specifications exceeding 8 kW per rack across 12,000+ racks for AI computational needs. A-Top Data Centre Campus is set to scale to over 100 MW capacity, establishing it as Taiwan's premier hyperscale data centre facility,” the report said.
