Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Philippines approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Philippines.
Greater Manila holds 9 active projects with 517 MW of planned IT load between them, and Evolution PH01 Manila (Gateway Business Park, General Trias) ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 6 are operational, 1 is at the land and permitting stage, 1 is announced only and 1 is on hold. Published colocation vacancy in Greater Manila was 43.6% as of June 2026, on 90 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Evolution DC has 3 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Evolution TH02 Bangkok, Evolution DC / Central Pattana Bangkok and Evolution DC VN HCMC (VN02). It sits on the Evolution Cavite campus. Named funding comes from Megawide Construction Corp. and Evolution Data Centres. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The money on record is US$300m as of March 2023, the announced investment.
Grid power for a large industrial user in the Philippines costs about US$0.12 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate.

ArusGrid holds 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 1 August 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
