Chief Telecom 投资 NT$33 亿在台湾中科虎尾园区新建 AI 数据中心，2028H2 才投产

Chief Telecom broke ground on a new AI data center at the Central Taiwan Science Park on the 20th, committing approximately NT$3.3 billion (US$101.7 million) to a facility expected to begin operations in the second half of 2028. The project is intended to extend the company's data center growth, as its Lianyun AI Intelligent Data Center is projected to reach full capacity in 2027.

The Huwei AI data center will cover 1.56 hectares and provide approximately 6,500 ping of floor space in a four-story building. The facility will be constructed to the international Tier 4 standard and equipped with advanced liquid-cooling technology. Chief Telecom said it will support AI computing, applications and agency services for customers in central and southern Taiwan.
The project forms part of a broader cloud and AI infrastructure strategy being developed with parent company Chunghwa Telecom. Chief Telecom said the combined data center capacity of the two companies represented 78% of Taiwan's overall internet data center market as of the second quarter of 2026. The new site, along with the Lianyun, Hongding Cloud and Liyuan facilities, will operate as backup infrastructure and create an AI computing corridor across Taiwan's western region. The network is designed to support disaster recovery and more efficient allocation of computing resources across northern, central and southern Taiwan.
Chief Telecom is also expanding its Taipei Internet Exchange, Cloud Exchange Center and Submarine Cable Exchange Center to connect enterprises with AI application providers. Its Three-Circle network links computing resources in the Taipei region, connects northern and southern Taiwan through high-speed fiber, and provides access to international submarine cable gateways and telecommunications partners across 10 East Asian countries. The company said its international submarine cable services, supported by Google Cloud and other infrastructure resources, are intended to provide resilient and secure cross-border connectivity.
Chief Telecom's cross-border expansion includes a memorandum of understanding signed in May with the Hokkaido Ishikari Renewable Energy Data Center in Japan. The partnership extends the company's green-energy computing reach into Northeast Asia and is intended to attract global cloud providers and multinational enterprises. Chief Telecom said the Huwei facility will strengthen local digital activity while advancing its focus on AI enablement, smart green energy and digital resilience.
