SINGAPORE, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 1504), together with its subsidiary TECOBAR, made its debut at Data Center World Singapore today (29th), showcasing its integrated one-stop capabilities in data center power systems and Modular Data Centers (MDCs) as it expands into Southeast Asia's AI infrastructure market. TECO President Fei-Yuan Kao stated, "As global competition for AI computing power intensifies, deployment speed and power supply stability have become critical to competitiveness. With more than 20 years of experience in data center infrastructure and cumulative contracted project capacity totaling nearly 1 GW, TECO integrates electromechanical systems, power systems, engineering, and modular prefabrication capabilities to help global customers accelerate AI data center deployment, bring computing capacity online sooner, and shorten time to commercial operation."
Five Core MDC Modules Accelerate AI Data Center Deployment
The exhibition focuses on TECO's one-stop Modular Data Center delivery capabilities, featuring five core modules: IT systems, cooling systems, power systems, generator systems, and energy management and control systems (EMS). It also demonstrates TECO's full-service capabilities spanning requirements analysis, system design, engineering planning, equipment manufacturing, modular prefabrication, system integration, on-site installation, testing, and handover. TECO is also presenting an ongoing 10 MW Modular Data Center project to illustrate the five core modules, from integrated design and factory prefabrication to on-site installation. Flexibly configured based on customer requirements, site conditions, and reliability tiers, TECO's MDC solutions reduce construction complexity and project timelines while improving engineering quality and energy efficiency.
Integrating Power Equipment and Local Manufacturing to Strengthen Supply Chain Services
High-performance computing applications continue to increase data center power density, making the safety, reliability, and deployment efficiency of power transmission systems increasingly critical. TECO has integrated the Group's equipment manufacturing and system integration resources, with its subsidiary TECOBAR showcasing armored and cast-resin busway products. Their high current-carrying capacity, modular design, and rapid deployment capabilities address different AI data center requirements. TECOBAR's new armored busway plant in Penang, Malaysia, is designed for annual production capacity of 400,000 meters. Its products are certified to international standards including IEC and UL, strengthening TECO's supply chain service capabilities for data center customers across Southeast Asia and global markets.

TECO Showcases Integrated Modular Data Center Solutions in Singapore, Targeting Southeast Asia's AI Infrastructure Opportunities
- Contributing to Singapore's sustainable digital infrastructure initiative -
TOKYO and SINGAPORE, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) announces that its subsidiary Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd. has joined the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed Phase 2.0 (STDCT 2.0) Consortium, an initiative led by the College of Design and Engineering (CDE) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Through participation in this initiative, Yokogawa will leverage its deep industrial automation heritage and leadership in autonomous operations to enhance operational efficiency, asset reliability, and energy optimization across the next-generation data center environments.
Driven by the rapid adoption of generative AI and cloud services, demand for data centers is growing worldwide. At the same time, industry faces significant challenges regarding energy consumption, operational resilience, and workforce constraints. These energy and operational challenges are even more pronounced in tropical regions such as Singapore, where hot and humid conditions place greater demands on cooling systems and energy efficiency, making sustainable data center innovation a crucial matter.
Singapore has identified the data center industry as one of its strategic growth sectors and is advancing plans to develop Jurong Island as a hub for next-generation data centers, an initiative led by government agency for industrial infrastructure, JTC Corporation, with a projected capacity of up to 700 megawatts.
STDCT 2.0 is a testbed initiative that brings together partners from academia, industry, and government to develop and evaluate advanced energy management and cooling technologies and establish a sustainable operating model suitable for AI data centers in a tropical climate. Beyond technology deployment and validation, Yokogawa will also work with the consortium to explore a joint research agenda to address emerging challenges where existing commercial solutions are insufficient to meet the demands of data center operators.
Through its participation in STDCT 2.0, Yokogawa aims to further strengthen its AI-powered technological capabilities and R&D expertise to develop comprehensive solutions that will support Singapore's journey towards a sustainable digital economy and also enhance the efficient and stable operation of AI data centers worldwide.
Professor Lee Poh Seng, Director of STDCT and Head, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Design and Engineering at NUS, said, "AI is fundamentally changing the design and operation of data centers. As rack densities rise and infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, improving individual components will no longer be enough, we need to optimize the data center as an integrated system spanning computing, power, cooling, controls and operations. STDCT 2.0 provides a real-world platform to bring these domains together and validate solutions under the demanding conditions of a tropical climate. Yokogawa's deep expertise in measurement, industrial automation and autonomous operations adds an important capability to this effort. Through this partnership, we hope to develop and demonstrate new approaches that make AI data centers not only more energy- and resource-efficient, but also more intelligent, resilient and scalable for deployment in Singapore and other tropical markets."
Kin Wah Chay, President and CEO of Yokogawa Engineering Asia, commented, "This initiative reflects Yokogawa's vision of enabling industrial autonomy and extending our expertise into the rapidly evolving digital infrastructure sector. We are honored to join the STDCT 2.0 Consortium and work alongside leading partners to accelerate and co-innovate solutions for next-generation AI data centers. Leveraging decades of experience in industrial automation and energy management, we aim to help drive smarter, more efficient, and sustainable data center operations in tropical regions."
