BDC has not provided comment on the ongoing process.
The company announced plans earlier this month to invest up to S$5bn ($3.9bn) into expanding its digital infrastructure footprint in Singapore, which serves as its global headquarters.
It has already arranged water resources necessary for its planned campus in Thailand.
Established nearly ten years ago, BDC operates and develops hyperscale data centre campuses across multiple markets including Malaysia, Thailand and India.
The company has outlined its intention to scale regional capacity to approximately 2GW by 2030 through further investments and partnerships with global technology firms.
BDC’s strategy includes supporting hyperscale customers and enabling technology companies seeking data centre platforms throughout the Asia Pacific as demand for AI and high-density workloads increases.
It declined requests for additional information regarding its latest funding initiative or forthcoming investment plans.
BDC has also entered several collaborations to investigate alternative energy solutions and enhance power strategies for digital infrastructure, as AI workloads continue to increase demand for resilient and sustainable energy sources.
Additionally, BDC is working with Concord New Energy to jointly develop Singapore’s first floating hydrogen power generation project, designed for use in next-generation digital infrastructure.
BDC and CNE will collaborate with Nanyang Technological University to support hydrogen ecosystem development in Singapore, focusing on accelerating research, engineering, and deployment of scalable clean energy technologies suited for digital infrastructure.
