Next gate to watch: Land secured.

Next checkpoint, 25 February 2027. The six-month exclusivity in the MoU ends around this date. If no power deal, investment approval, funder or tenant is on record by then, ArusGrid moves this project to on hold.

Your call. Will it be built?

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 Vietnam approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Vietnam.

Where it sits

Hanoi metro holds 6 active projects with 110 MW of planned IT load between them, and BTC Digital AI Data Center, Nam Trang Cat IP has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational, 1 is under construction, 1 is at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Hanoi metro, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only BTC Digital project ArusGrid tracks. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 25 August 2026.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Vietnam costs about US$0.073 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Vietnam, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “Licence required as enforced (Country Group D:1), no named authorisation found”. ArusGrid holds 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 10 September 2026, and last checked the record on 14 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Vietnam, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.

Build, land, power and water
Nothing found in public sources yet. Most contractors and utilities never name their data centre clients. Know who built it or where its power comes from? Tell us.

Planned MW is IT load, the power available to servers, unless marked otherwise. Running capacity is rarely published, so a missing figure means undisclosed.
