SINGAPORE'S Keppel Data Centres has signed separate memoranda of understanding with Toll Group and Royal Vopak to study the feasibility of developing a floating data centre park (FDCP) and liquefied natural gas-to-power infrastructure in the Lion City. Keppel and Toll will explore the development of a near-shore FDCP at the Loyang Offshore Supply Base, which is operated by the latter company. Keppel and Royal Vopak will also perform a feasibility study and assess the commercial viability of establishing LNG and possibly hydrogen infrastructure for the power and cooling plants, which will form part of the FDCP development at Loyang. 'We see great potential in FDCPs as a commercially viable and attractive innovation that conserves land, water and energy, compared to traditional land-based data centres," said Keppel Data Centres chief executive Wong Wai Meng. "Our FDCP concept will feature a modular design, which can be scaled up quickly according to customers' demand.
