Digital services embark on a rapid journey, thus creating a surge in data center operations. Data center markets are developing in the ASEAN region, creating a promising future for investors. Even so, the emergence of data centers has not been without its indispensable effects. Data center contributes to a large increase in energy consumption–from server operations to cooling systems that need to be kept powered on constantly. Data center is a critical piece of infrastructure, yet it is also necessary to remember that energy consumption will continue to increase during, and with the sight of, the burgeoning demand for data. Larger consumption means higher energy costs, and businesses are finding ways to cut the cost burden, even through limiting operational hours. To overcome this problem, it is essential to improve system efficiency and look for alternative cleaner energy in furtherance of data center operations. With a goal of transitioning to a low-carbon economy, ASEAN countries need to balance environmental protection while still attracting global players for countries’ economic growth. Practicing the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2016-2025 Phase II 2021-2025 in the Programme Area of Energy Efficiency & Conservation, data center transformation will hopefully move towards green practices for a sustainable future in the ASEAN region. The collaborative work and approach are depicted in this White Paper on Building Next Generation Data Center Facility in ASEAN. The study explores the trends of data centers in ASEAN and worldwide. It expounds on technologies and methods that ASEAN countries could adopt as a means to reach their ambitious targets for energy efficiency.With a large and continuous rise of online services, countries in the ASEAN
