PLDT Inc. plans to build its largest data center yet in Southern Luzon, Philippines, specifically targeting Cavite, to meet growing AI-related computing demands with a capacity of at least 100 MW. The site selection benefits from the area's sufficient energy supply supported by Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), crucial for data centers serving hyperscalers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

PLDT's choice of Cavite signals a power-backed opportunity in Philippine AI data hosting. If you supply cloud or AI infrastructure services in the region, the demand spike in electricity-intensive data centres opens a new market now.
