A second edition of the Low Carbon Data Centres conference is set to address how the sector can reduce its carbon footprint in Asia. The event will cover renewable power procurement strategies, infrastructure expansion, and the role of data centres in regional decarbonisation goals. With data centre energy demand rising rapidly across Asia, the conference aims to bring together industry and policy stakeholders to discuss practical steps toward lower emissions. Procurement of wind and solar power, grid interconnection, and cooling efficiency are likely key topics.

Data centre load growth in Asia is huge. The real test will be whether renewable PPAs can match the 24/7 demand profile, not just annual offsets. Any details on firming or storage being discussed?

Nice to see this getting attention. But without clear carbon accounting rules and mandated procurement targets for hyperscalers, these events stay talk heavy. Need the regulatory teeth to back up the pledges.

Second edition suggests there's enough traction to keep the conversation going. Curious if they're moving beyond voluntary commitments to actual project finance for renewable buildout near data centre hubs.

Short press release but the topic matters. If Asia data centres can scale low carbon infrastructure fast, it could pull in serious renewable investment. Worth watching the outcomes from this one.
