NTT Data Group is preparing a large expansion of data center capacity in Japan to meet growing demand from corporate clients. Bloomberg reports the company expects to invest at least $9 billion through 2033 as part of a plan to quadruple its computing capacity to 1 gigawatt. The Japan Times reports NTT Data is looking at a capital spending figure of about ¥1.5 trillion in Japan. It also says the company plans to add roughly 750 megawatts of capacity over the next seven years. Both accounts link the expansion to a rise in demand for data center services, including demand tied to artificial intelligence workloads and broader efforts by companies to increase computing capabilities. The proposed timeline in the reporting indicates a multi-year build-out aimed at scaling capacity significantly over the next several years, culminating in a much larger total computing footprint. The reports present consistent themes of substantial investment, large capacity additions, and a target of reaching 1 gigawatt capacity, though they differ in the specific figures cited in dollars versus yen.
