Clean Energy Technologies (CETY) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Freyr to support the delivery of AI and data center services to Southeast Asia.

Freyr will spearhead client acquisition and manage data center operations, while CETY will provide the necessary Nvidia infrastructure for data center services.

CETY intends to leverage the collaboration to cross-sell its clean energy solutions to AI data centers across Southeast Asia.

Freyr is Nvidia's preferred partner. It focuses on developing technical solutions to optimize the model flop utilization of Nvidia’s GPU.

CETY has signed several deals in the data center and tech sectors in 2024. Earlier this month, it announced plans to expand its microgrid solution into the cryptocurrency mining and artificial intelligence data center sectors.

The announcement follows the signing of an MoU with Bitcoin mining firm True North. Under the terms of the MoU, CETY microgrid solutions will be delivered to True North's data centers and cryptocurrency mining operations.

The Southeast Asian data center market is projected to grow significantly over the rest of the decade. According to 451 Research, data center capacity in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India is forecasted to increase at a 10-28 percent CAGR over the next five years.

Several prominent announcements have been made in the region in 2024. In March, BW Digital acquired more than 55,000 sqm (592,015 sq ft) of land at Nongsa Digital Park in Batam, Indonesia, to build an 80MW data center.

Before this, Digital Edge launched a 23MW data center in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, its second in the city.
