The $84B build-out: every datacenter announced across ASEAN in the last 12 months, mapped

We pulled filings, planning permits, and grid-connection requests from seven ASEAN jurisdictions to answer one question: how much datacenter capacity has actually been committed in the last twelve months?

The headline figure is $84 billion across 41 announced projects. But “announced” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

What the spreadsheet actually says

Strip out projects without a secured grid connection and the committed total falls to roughly $51 billion — still a record, but a third smaller than the press releases imply.

Indonesia leads on announced capacity; Malaysia leads on capacity with power actually contracted. The gap between those two columns is the real story of ASEAN's build-out.
