SINGAPORE: Facebook will invest over US$1bil to build a data centre in Singapore, its first in Asia, powered by renewable energy and adapted to the city-state’s tropical climate.

The centre is expected to be operational around 2022, depending on the speed of construction, and will host Facebook servers and centralise its IT operations, Thomas Furlong, Facebook vice-president of infrastructure data centres, said at a press conference with local authorities.
