AI infrastructure company Brightray Science, a 60%-owned subsidiary of BUUU Group, has announced a framework agreement for a planned 40MW AI data centre in Coloane, Macao.

Brightray’s wholly owned subsidiary, Brightray Veridian, entered into the Prefabricated Module Sales Framework Agreement with an unnamed Macao-based developer that is leading the project.

The planned facility would employ Brightray’s FPD fully prefabricated data centre solution, with delivery targeted for the third quarter of 2027.

The agreement is non-binding and does not commit either party to purchasing or supplying modules.

Negotiations on a definitive sales contract will commence only after Brightray Veridian has secured a tenant for the project and the developer has signed a legally binding lease with that tenant. Should this condition remain unmet by 30 September 2027, the agreement will terminate automatically.

Pricing is also provisional, with the final price to be determined in any definitive contract.

Under the current design, the project would occupy a compact site of roughly 9,000m2 and comprise a building of up to five storeys, conforming to local municipal height requirements.

The data centre is intended to provide approximately 40MW of IT capacity and to comply with Tier III standards, with a target average power usage effectiveness below 1.35 at full IT load using a water-cooled system.

Brightray’s FPD technology constructs buildings from steel-structure modules, with a factory prefabrication rate exceeding 90%. The company says this method can deliver construction efficiency gains of more than 30% relative to data centres of the same class, while reducing on-site noise, dust and safety risks.

If completed, the facility would represent Macao’s first modular AI data centre and could serve as a reference for multi-storey industrialised construction in the territory.

Brightray founder Bin Wang said: “Macao’s limited space places higher demands on land-use efficiency and on the organisation of on-site construction.

“Our FPD solution integrates the design of the building structure with the data centre’s functional systems and uses factory prefabrication to support the construction of a five-storey data centre, expanding computing capacity within a limited footprint while reducing on-site construction.”

Wang described the framework agreement as an important step in expanding Brightray’s prefabricated data centre business, noting that its project in Johor, Malaysia already has 70MW in operation with a further 50MW planned.

The final design, scope and schedule for the Macao project remain subject to tenant requirements and regulatory approvals for power and land development.
