Evolution DC / Central Pattana Bangkok is a data center project in Bang Na, Thailand, operated by Evolution Data Centres. It is under construction. It is planned for 52 MW of IT load.
Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction in December 2024. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Builder appointed.
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 Thailand approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Thailand.
Bangkok metro holds 23 active projects with 893 MW of planned IT load between them, and Evolution DC / Central Pattana Bangkok ranks 5th by planned capacity. Of those, 6 are operational, 3 are operational and expanding, 5 are under construction, 2 are being commissioned, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Bangkok metro was 22.1% as of June 2026, on 113 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Evolution DC has 1 other in Thailand and 2 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Evolution TH02 Bangkok. Named funding comes from Warburg Pincus on the equity side, International Finance Corporation as debt and Central Pattana. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Phase 1 at 12 MW is commissioning with a 2026 target; Phase 2 at 40 MW is under construction with a 2027 target. The stage was recorded as under construction in December 2024. Power comes from Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) through grid supply. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling.
Grid power for a large industrial user in Thailand costs about US$0.10 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Thailand, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 9 public sources for this project, the latest dated 7 September 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
Confirmed hyperscaler anchor on phase 1 (Evolution, via DCD 2026-09-04) on a 2024-design carrier-neutral build. Tenant identity undisclosed.
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

12 MW · Pre-lease of the full 12MW first phase of TH01, multi-year; phase 2 adds 40MW in Q2 2027 · as of 2026-09-04
DCD reports Evolution DC signed a multi-year pre-lease for the whole 12MW phase 1 of TH01 Bang Na with an unnamed tier 1 global hyperscaler, ready for service Q4 2026. ArusGrid carries this client as confirmed; the only document found is press, so the sourced status is reported unless Evolution's own release or the IFC disclosure is located.

Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
No published price band exists for Thailand, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
