SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DayOne Data Centers Limited ("DayOne"), a Singapore-headquartered global digital infrastructure platform, today announced it has surpassed 1GW of Billings[4]. This follows the recent upsize of its senior secured multi-currency syndicated term financing in Malaysia to approximately US$7.2 billion in total. These milestones demonstrate DayOne's ability to deliver on customer commitments and execute at scale.
DayOne continues to strengthen its capital base to support its growth. Arranged by a seven-lender consortium, the upsized financing of approximately US$7.2 billion in Malaysia supports the continued development of its data center platform in Johor and builds on the approximately US$3.5 billion syndicated financing the company secured in May 2025. Since 2024, the company has raised over US$6 billion in equity across several financing rounds, alongside project financing from a broad roster of more than 30 local and global banking partners.
DayOne's Billings have grown over eightfold in under two years, from 121MW at the end of 2024. The 1GW Billings milestone comes as DayOne's Bookings reached approximately 2.3GW[1], up from 1.25GW at the end of 2025. In addition to the Bookings, DayOne also had 1.1GW[1] of Reservations[3] from customers.
Jamie Khoo, Chief Executive Officer of DayOne, said, "The confidence our banking partners and customers have placed in DayOne is reflected in these milestones and underpins our continued growth. Together, their support has enabled us to unlock strategic capacity for the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure. Our focus remains on earning that trust through responsible execution and bringing capacity online at speed and scale in the markets our customers need."
DayOne acquires powered land and secures anchor customer commitments early on in its development process. Across its ten-market footprint, DayOne's Resources[5] reached 4.6GW[1], up from 2GW at the end of 2025.
A key part of DayOne's growth strategy is to continue broadening and diversifying its customer base over time. Bookings came from 15 customers[1], up from nine at the end of 2024. Four of its top five customers are with DayOne in multiple markets. Three hyperscale customers each have multi-market deployments of around or above 200MW. Most recently, DayOne has secured additional orders with one of its existing U.S. hyperscale customers.
"By pioneering and scaling new markets, this conviction has shaped DayOne since inception, and it continues to guide how we grow," added Jamie. "From Singapore where DayOne was founded, we are driving the delivery of high-specification facilities across Asia Pacific and Europe."

Die Exzellenzstrategie von Bund und Ländern stellt die Weichen für die nächste Förderperiode – und verschiebt die Gewichte im deutschen Wissenschaftssystem. Zu den bundesweit fünf neuen Exzellenzstandorten gehören die Technische Universität Darmstadt, die Goethe-Universität Frankfurt und die Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, die sich als Allianz der Rhein-Main-Universitäten (RMU) durchgesetzt haben. Ebenfalls erfolgreich waren in Nordrhein-Westfalen die Universität zu Köln sowie der Verbund Ruhr Innovation Lab aus TU Dortmund und Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
Für Hessen ist die Entscheidung ein Durchbruch: Erstmals tragen Universitäten des Landes ab 2027 den Titel „Exzellenzuniversität“. Die RMU-Allianz erhält nach Angaben des hessischen Wissenschaftsministeriums über sieben Jahre eine Förderung von insgesamt bis zu 155 Millionen Euro, finanziert zu 75 Prozent vom Bund. Wissenschaftsminister Timon Gremmels spricht von den ersten Exzellenzunis in Hessen und zugleich vom ersten länderübergreifenden Verbund in der Exzellenzstrategie. Ministerpräsident Boris Rhein bezeichnet den Titel als Meilenstein für die Forschungslandschaft des Landes. Ein mittelhessischer Verbund aus den Universitäten Gießen und Marburg blieb im Wettbewerb dagegen ohne Erfolg.
Auch Nordrhein-Westfalen stärkt seine Rolle als Hochburg der Spitzenforschung. Neben der Universität Köln, die den begehrten Status nach einer früheren Förderphase von 2012 bis 2019 zurückerhält, steigt der Verbund aus TU Dortmund und Ruhr-Uni Bochum als Ruhr Innovation Lab in den Kreis der Exzellenzuniversitäten auf. Nach Angaben des Düsseldorfer Wissenschaftsministeriums baut das Land damit seine Führungsposition aus. Die Universität Bonn und die RWTH Aachen hatten ihren Exzellenzstatus bereits im Frühjahr verteidigt, sodass NRW künftig mit vier Standorten vertreten ist. Ministerpräsident Hendrik Wüst wertet dies insbesondere als Signal für die internationale Sichtbarkeit des Ruhrgebiets als Wissenschafts- und Innovationsstandort.
In Bonn gaben Bundesforschungsministerin Dorothee Bär und der niedersächsische Wissenschaftsminister Falko Mohrs als Vize-Vorsitzender der Gemeinsamen Wissenschaftskonferenz (GWK) neben den Standorten in Hessen und NRW auch die Universitäten Freiburg und Jena als neue Exzellenzunis bekannt. Für Einzeluniversitäten sieht das Programm Fördermittel von bis zu 15 Millionen Euro pro Jahr vor, bei Verbünden wie der Rhein-Main-Allianz oder dem Ruhr Innovation Lab können es bis zu 28 Millionen Euro sein. Damit wächst die Riege der Exzellenzuniversitäten, deren bisher neun Standorte – darunter Aachen, Bonn, Dresden, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, München, Tübingen sowie die Berlin University Alliance – ihre Förderung bereits im Frühjahr um weitere sieben Jahre verlängert hatten. Der Titel ist jeweils an regelmäßige Überprüfungen der Fördervoraussetzungen geknüpft.
