Several public sources
- Empyrion Digital has started construction on its first data centre in Taiwan’s Neihu technology district, marking its entry into the Taiwanese infrastructure market with a 7 MW scalable facility.
- The Taipei Data Centre (TW1) is designed for cloud and AI workloads, sustainability features and liquid-cooling readiness, and is expected to come online in late 2027.
What happened: Empyrion begins Taiwan build-out with sustainable facility
Empyrion Digital, a Singapore-based developer and operator of next-generation data centres, has broken ground on its first facility in Taiwan, signalling a significant expansion of its footprint in Asia as demand for digital infrastructure continues to grow. The project, named TW1, is situated in Neihu, a key Taiwanese technology business hub in Taipei, and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027.
TW1 will occupy a five-storey building covering 4,260 square metres with a 10 MW power capacity, offering 7 MW of scalable IT load aimed at supporting high-performance cloud, enterprise and AI computing workloads. The facility is being designed to accommodate liquid cooling and high-density deployments, reflecting a trend among data centre operators to anticipate more power-intensive and compute-heavy applications.

The data centre’s design incorporates sustainability at its core. It will include energy-efficient air-cooled systems that minimise water use and will target Green Building Gold certification in Taiwan. Additional green features such as vertical green walls and solar panels are planned as part of the facility’s environmental strategy. The development will also engage with local partners to explore renewable energy options for operational power supply. See also: Ziggo group appoints leaders ahead of 2027 Amsterdam listing.
Empyrion Digital has been rapidly expanding in Asian markets. In addition to the Taiwan project, the firm already operates a 7.7 MW site in Singapore and a 29.4 MW centre in Seoul, South Korea, and is involved in other developments such as a large-scale campus in Johor, Malaysia. The Taiwan build marks the company’s strategic move into developed Northeast Asian markets. See also: RELAXDAYS.

Why it’s important
The launch of TW1 underscores broader shifts in global data centre strategy, as providers seek to build infrastructure closer to key technology ecosystems. Taiwan’s robust semiconductor industry, advanced digital economy and strategic location in the Asia-Pacific make it a compelling choice for new investment. A local data centre can reduce latency for regional customers, bolster cloud and AI deployment, and attract enterprise and hyperscale demand that previously may have routed workloads to nearby markets such as Japan, Korea or Singapore.

Furthermore, TW1’s emphasis on sustainable design reflects growing industry pressure to balance performance with environmental impact. As data centre energy consumption continues to draw scrutiny, features such as liquid cooling and renewable integration can improve resource efficiency and operational resilience.
