SuperX secures Mercuria investment for AI data center push in 3 Asian markets

AI infrastructure provider SuperX has secured a strategic investment from energy giant Mercuria to fund data center projects across three Asian markets.

SuperX AI Technology Ltd. secured a strategic investment from Mercuria Asia, combining AI data center technology with global energy expertise to develop computing infrastructure across Indonesia, Japan and Thailand.

"The core long-term challenge for the AI computing power industry lies in electricity costs and low-carbon compliance pressures," Dr. Huang Chenhong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuperX, said. "Mercuria's global energy network, asset management expertise and structured energy solutions precisely address our key gaps."

Mercuria Asia, the Asia Pacific platform of Mercuria Energy Group, made the investment through a convertible note and warrant subscription agreement, the companies said July 21. The partnership will focus on AI data center development, optimized power resource allocation and energy management innovation. SuperX brings full-stack AI data center technology including high-performance AI servers, 800-volt direct current solutions and high-density liquid cooling systems, while Mercuria contributes a worldwide energy network, power optimization capabilities and structured financing expertise.

The partnership addresses a structural challenge for the AI industry: data center electricity costs and carbon compliance. SuperX, headquartered in Singapore and listed on Nasdaq, serves institutional clients globally. Mercuria, one of the world's largest independent energy and commodities groups, is extending its energy capabilities into AI infrastructure — a sector where global computing power demand continues to surge.

What Each Side Brings

SuperX holds advantages in full-stack AI data center technology, global deployment and operations. Its core products include high-performance AI servers, 800VDC solutions that improve power efficiency, and high-density liquid cooling systems designed for the thermal demands of AI workloads. The company also offers AI cloud services and AI agents for enterprise clients.

Mercuria operates across the global energy value chain — crude oil and refined products, natural gas and LNG, power, renewable energy, metals and carbon markets. The group, founded in Geneva, Switzerland, brings capabilities in power optimization, price risk management and structured financing, along with extensive experience in energy asset investment and operations.

Regional Expansion and Industry Implications

The partnership targets project implementation in Indonesia, Japan and Thailand — markets where AI infrastructure demand is growing but energy costs and grid reliability remain constraints. By pairing SuperX's data center technology with Mercuria's energy network, the companies aim to deliver what they call "AI factory solutions" that are more cost-competitive and sustainable.

Mr. Jin Han, Board Member of Mercuria Group and Chief Executive Officer of Mercuria Asia, said AI infrastructure is becoming a vital conduit for the integrated development of the global energy system and the digital economy. "Mercuria has long focused on infrastructure investments that enhance global energy efficiency and resource allocation," he said. "Investing in AI infrastructure is both an important practice in advancing Mercuria's energy strategy and a key direction in positioning for the future energy ecosystem."

The energy-AI convergence is drawing increasing attention from investors. Data centers could consume as much as 8 percent of global electricity by 2030, up from about 1 percent to 2 percent today, according to industry estimates, making power procurement a critical competitive differentiator for AI infrastructure operators. SuperX's partnership with Mercuria mirrors a broader trend of energy companies and AI infrastructure providers forming alliances to secure power supply for compute-intensive workloads.

For investors, the deal shows that energy costs are becoming a defining competitive factor in AI infrastructure. SuperX, trading on Nasdaq, gains institutional backing from a major energy group — a move that could accelerate project financing for its overseas expansion in Indonesia, Japan and Thailand.
