- Planned facility to deliver large-scale AI compute capacity for Southeast Asia's growing demand
- Campus expected to support 150MW of IT load, enabling high-density GPU deployments
- First phase targeted for completion in Q1 2027, subject to approvals and financing
Bangkok, Thailand--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2026) - Gorilla Technology Group (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla"), a global provider of AI-driven infrastructure, security intelligence and data solutions, today announced it has acquired a strategic land site in Korat, Thailand to develop a planned
200MW AI data centre campus, advancing its expansion of AI infrastructure across Southeast Asia. Gorilla intends to use the campus to support domestic Thai demand as well as regional demand from governments, hyperscalers, enterprises, AI developers, strategic offtakers and customers requiring secure compute capacity in Southeast Asia. The planned campus is intended to become one of Gorilla's flagship sovereign compute platforms in the region, with resilient power architecture, advanced cooling capability, dark fibre connectivity, secure access control, water availability and the operational flexibility required to support current and next generation GPU systems. The site is located in
Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima), Thailand and comprises approximately
100 rai (c. 40 acres) of strategically positioned land secured for large scale AI infrastructure development. Once fully developed, the campus will be comprised of six high density AI data halls, including five data halls of approximately 30MW each and one larger data hall of approximately 50MW. Construction is expected to commence in
July 2026, subject to final engineering, permitting and mobilisation. Access to power, dark fibre connectivity and water infrastructure have already been identified, subject to final engineering, permitting and commercial documentation. Once fully deployed, Gorilla is targeting approximately US$1.5B of annualised revenue from the campus starting 2028, subject to customer contracting, deployment ramp up & full commercial utilization. "Anyone can talk about AI, but very few can put together the actual physical platform required to run it," said
Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology. "This milestone deserves to be celebrated. We've secured the land and utilities needed for large-scale compute and cleared hurdles that many others have not." "Our funding strategy is centered on project level debt, infrastructure debt, asset backed financing, potential bond structures and non-dilutive capital sourced through Gorilla Technology Capital," Mr. Chandan continued. "We are targeting long duration institutional capital, including pension funds, endowments, superannuation funds and infrastructure investors that understand the real asset nature of AI compute. We are here to build a serious business using smart capital." The project is also expected to generate significant local economic activity, including the creation of over 1,000 skilled jobs across engineering, operations, infrastructure management and support services as the campus is developed and brought online. "From a technical and commercial perspective, this campus is designed to create a meaningful AI compute platform for Thailand and the wider Southeast Asian region," said
Dr. Rajesh Natarajan, Group CTO of Gorilla Technology. "The current planning model is based on 200MW facility load supporting approximately 150MW of net IT load and assuming a target PUE of approximately 1.3. Under an illustrative all-GB-300 configuration, using approximately 142kW per rack and 72 GPUs per rack, this would support approximately 76,000 GPUs at full deployment. The more important point is that the campus is being structured for phased capacity delivery, allowing Gorilla to match infrastructure deployment with customer demand and engineering readiness." The first phase of the campus is targeted for completion by Q1 2027, with the broader campus expected to be developed in phases thereafter, aligned to customer demand, infrastructure readiness and capital deployment. The campus is being designed to support Gorilla's DBOT model, under which Gorilla designs, builds, operates and commercializes critical AI infrastructure for governments, enterprises and strategic partners. In closing, Mr. Chandan commented, "AI infrastructure is a large growth story. Customers are no longer looking for theoretical capacity. They need real sites, real power, real connectivity, real operating capability and credible partners that can execute. This is the platform Gorilla is building."
