Next gate to watch: Land secured.

Your call. Will it be built?

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 Vietnam approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Vietnam.

Where it sits

Da Nang / Central VN holds 2 active projects with 20 MW of planned IT load between them, and Vietnam Data Gen AI Data Centre Network (Phase 1, Da Nang) ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Da Nang / Central VN, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only Vietnam Data Gen project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Da Nang Hi-Tech Park alongside AIDC DeCenter (IPTP Networks). Named funding comes from Create Capital Vietnam and Haimaker.ai. The named user of the compute is CEH Information Technology Services Co Ltd (Công ty TNHH Dịch vụ công nghệ thông tin CEH) (reported, unconfirmed).

The build is phased. Phase 1 (Da Nang, stated 10-20MW) is announced; Phase 2 (stated 40-60MW) is announced; Phase 3 (100MW network) is announced. The stage was recorded as announced only on 29 December 2025.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Vietnam costs about US$0.073 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 Vietnam, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “Licence required as enforced (Country Group D:1), no named authorisation found”. ArusGrid holds 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 29 December 2025, and last checked the record on 20 October 2026.
