Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan administrator Mohammed Hussein Pangandaman joined a meeting on the potential conversion of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant into a state-of-the-art data center.
Bataan 2nd District Rep. Abet Garcia discussed land status, progress reports and insights on the proposed conversion of the mothballed facility, according to the AFAB report.
The project holds the promise of not only stimulating economic growth but also positioning the region as a key player in the digital infrastructure landscape, it said.
AFAB board director Michael Ballesteros also joined Pangandaman in the meeting.
Bataan Governor Joet Garcia earlier said the BNPP could be converted into one of the biggest cloud computing data center facilities in the world. It is a strong structure and equipped with a water-cooling facility which is suited for a data center.
Garcia said in the US, military barracks are used as data centers for being safe and secured. Butch Gunio
