Digital Halo MNL1 is a data center project in Cainta, Philippines, operated by Digital Halo. It is operational. It is planned for 70 MW of IT load. The operator reports 6.5 MW running.
Latest change on record: entered the record as operational in May 2025.
Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Philippines approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Philippines.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. On record: named funder, committed or approved capital, dated, sized phase, three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.
Operator markets MNL1 as the Philippines' first 'AI- and hyperscale-ready' data center, on 100% renewable (geothermal + wind) supply, on a 3.75-ha campus scaling to 70MW. This is an operator marketing claim, not a dated cooling/GPU spec, hence 'likely', not 'confirmed'.
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria.
Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
This is the size of a loan. ArusGrid excludes it from capital spending totals.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
