Called PowerCore 5.0, the containerised module will reduce power infrastructure delivery timelines by more than 50%. Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a Singapore-headquartered hyperscale data centre provider, and Morong Electric, an electrical manufacturing specialist, have launched PowerCore 5.0, the world's first fully prefabricated power module designed for high-density AI data centres. Built for high-density AI workloads on accelerated deployment timelines, the module complies with the technical standards of BDC's proprietary i-Power Cube, its power system designed for high-performance computing. It integrates seamlessly with the Bridge Omni Platform, BDC's modular intelligent infrastructure platform for the AI era. PowerCore 5.0 combines BDC's global hyperscale delivery experience with Morong Electric's end-to-end electrical manufacturing expertise. Rapid AI advancement has driven rack power densities from 10kW to more than 100kW, placing stringent new demands on mission-critical power infrastructure. Traditional delivery models, which rely on fragmented procurement and on-site system integration, struggle to cater to the rigorous requirements of AI-optimised data centres. Drawing on BDC's global campus delivery footprint and Morong Electric's electrical engineering expertise, PowerCore 5.0 addresses these challenges through four core design attributes: factory pre-integration, standardised global transport, parallel construction and maintenance without downtime. Factory pre-integration Each unit integrates transformers, power distribution, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), cooling, fire suppression and monitoring systems into a single module, fully assembled and tested off-site. Site teams need only complete the final cable connections on delivery, removing the quality inconsistencies that accompany conventional field construction. Standardised global transport Built on a standard 40ft ISO container frame, the module integrates seamlessly with global shipping networks, eliminating oversized freight premiums, dedicated transport and protracted customs delays that hinder cross-border deployments. Purpose-engineered for BDC’s core markets, it complies with local climatic benchmarks and industrial standards to enable dependable global rollout. Shortened delivery timelines by more than 50% On-site civil works and factory…

As South‑east Asia’s digital infrastructure demand accelerates, responsible water use has never been more critical. At BDC, we design our campuses to minimise reliance on potable water and strengthen long‑term resilience.As highlighted in The Business Times, Eric Fan, CEO at BDC, shares, “Rather than relying on potable water, we design campuses around alternative and reclaimed water sources and plan water infrastructure at a campus scale.”Beyond our work in Ulu Tiram, BDC already has additional water sustainability initiatives in development, including partnerships like Stecon, with more to come as we scale responsibly across the region.Our mission is clear: build water lean, future-ready hyperscale campuses that support both digital growth and the communities we serve.Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gSBHRm3gFind out more about our sustainability initiatives: https://lnkd.in/gwR7yq3v

“Within one of our main campuses in Malaysia, we already have over 50% of the energy coming from solar power generation… we’re advancing a sustainable energy mix and setting examples for the industry with our long term vision to be water neutral.” - Eric Fan, CEO at BDCIn Data Centre Magazine’s February 2026 issue, BDC is spotlighted for it rapid hyperscale growth, liquidcooling innovation and sustainability leadership across APAC.BDC continues to scale AI‑ready infrastructure with vertical integration, faster deployment and a clear path towards net‑zero.

Eric Fan, CEO at BDC, speaks with Frontier Enterprise on what it really takes to build resilient data centre platforms across very different APAC markets.Eric looks at how we move beyond one-size-fits-all builds. Bridge has been integrating renewables, water reuse and long-term utility partnerships in places like Malaysia and Thailand.He also covered insights on how efficiency and predictive intelligence will shape the next wave of hyperscale and AI growth in the region.Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/g_qRB5eJ

What an incredible evening at BDC Night!Thank you to our partners and peers for joining us to exchange ideas and celebrate the future of data centres in APAC.Here’s to building smarter, greener, and future-ready infrastructure together.

Scaling data centres in APAC isn’t just about capacity. It’s about precision, sustainability, and execution at scale.Eric Fan joined fellow industry leaders at PTC’26 to explore the real challenges and opportunities shaping APAC’s digital infrastructure. Special thanks to James Murphy for moderating this insightful discussion.
