The memorandum of understanding advances the power and energy solutions needed to support DayOne’s rapid and responsible growth in the region.
Singapore, October 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DayOne Data Centers (“DayOne”), a Singapore-based global digital infrastructure platform, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sembcorp Utilities (“Sembcorp”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries, to explore integrating power and energy solutions into DayOne’s data center development projects to support its continued growth across Asia.
Under this memorandum of understanding, DayOne and Sembcorp will evaluate solutions across multiple areas, including on-site power infrastructure and generation, renewable energy supply, and operations and maintenance services.
This partnership supports DayOne’s “Bring Your Own Power” initiative, which integrates power planning into the earliest stages of data center development to identify and secure suitable energy solutions. DayOne states that this approach aims to reduce execution risk, navigate increasingly constrained power markets, and provide greater certainty for customers as they scale.
Jamie Khoo, CEO of DayOne, said: “Expanding digital infrastructure means considering the energy pathways that will power it from the very beginning. Our approach is to secure critical resources—such as electricity, land, water, and connectivity—at an early stage, enabling us to accelerate execution while maintaining long-term responsible development. Partnering with Sembcorp gives us the opportunity to explore integrated data center, power, and energy solutions as we continue to expand our regional business.”
Koh Chiap Khiong, President and CEO of Sembcorp Gas and Related Services, said: “Powering AI requires energy infrastructure to grow in tandem with digital infrastructure. By collaborating early in the development of the DayOne project, we can explore energy solutions that support its evolving needs and continued growth across Asia. Our shared goal is to help build the energy foundation required to support the rapid expansion of AI and digital infrastructure in the region.”
DayOne and Sembcorp plan to jointly assess the feasibility, business case, and potential implementation pathways for energy solutions related to their agreed-upon projects. This framework enables both parties to explore areas including reliable and cost-competitive power solutions, power generation and electrical infrastructure, fuel supply and storage, renewable energy solutions, and related technologies and operational services.
DayOne stated that this memorandum of understanding builds upon its existing power and energy initiatives. The company aims to achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2030, where market conditions permit.
In Singapore, DayOne has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Keppel for its upcoming SG1 data center, ensuring that its operations will be fully powered by renewable energy. In Malaysia, DayOne announced in June 2026 the signing of a renewable energy supply agreement under the country’s Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS), covering approximately 1.5 GWp of solar capacity and 2.2 GWh of battery storage. In Thailand, DayOne has signed a power purchase agreement to supply renewable energy to its data center campus in the Chonburi Science Park.
DayOne stated that, through these initiatives, the company aims to turn one of the industry's biggest constraints into a growth driver, giving customers greater confidence that the required capacity will be delivered quickly, whenever and wherever needed.
