Nuclear-Powered Data Centers: A Sustainable Solution for Southeast Asia's Energy Crunch

In Southeast Asia, the rapid growth of the digital economy has positioned the region as a global hub for data centers, with the market valued at USD 10–14 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 14–17 billion by 2029. However, this expansion comes at a steep energy cost — hyperscale data centers require 20–100 MW each, contributing to a regional IT load expected to hit 2,000 MW by 2029. The energy crunch threatens to stifle growth. This webinar seeks to bridge the gap between the urgent energy needs of Southeast Asia’s data center industry and the long-term potential of nuclear power, fostering a dialogue that moves operators from consideration to action. By addressing key concerns such as safety, regulatory hurdles, and public perception—and providing practical steps like feasibility studies and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), the webinar aims to catalyze a shift toward nuclear-powered data centers in the region. Featuring insights from George Borovas, Head of Nuclear from Hunton and Gavin Kleinhans, Counsel from Microsoft, the webinar will equip attendees with the knowledge and resources to explore nuclear energy, ensuring Southeast Asia’s data center growth is both sustainable and scalable in the face of an escalating energy crunch.
