SoftBank and Grab put US$1.85B down on a 5GW AI bet in Malaysia
SoftBank 和 Grab 签约 PETROS，砸 18.5 亿美元在沙捞越建 5GW 的 AI 数据中心，Grab 算是回老家干起了算力生意。关注东南亚算力布局的人可以看看这个能源绑定模式。
SoftBank Group 与 Grab Holdings 与沙捞越州油气公司 Petroleum Sarawak（PETROS）签署联合开发协议，投资规模达 18.5 亿美元，在沙捞越建设总容量 5GW 的 AI 数据中心基础设施。Grab 十四年前正是从马来西亚起步的打车应用，此次重返出生地转型做 AI 基础设施。
项目依托 PETROS 在当地的能源资源布局，将数据中心与沙捞越的油气及水电供应绑定，解决 AI 算力耗电的瓶颈。5GW 的规划容量在东南亚属于大型规模，选址沙捞越也与其相对低廉的土地和电力成本有关。
对东南亚市场而言，这笔投资把日本资本、东南亚互联网公司与州级能源企业捆在一起，是数据中心向能源富集地外迁的又一例证，云厂商和 GPU 供应商在该区域的部署节奏可能随之加快。
