Wasion Energy wins over 1.6 billion RMB in data center orders

Wasion Energy Technology Co., a subsidiary of Wasion Holdings, has secured new overseas business contracts valued at more than 1.6 billion RMB ($220 million) since the start of 2026, directly capitalizing on the global race to build infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

According to a May 26 announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the orders are primarily for critical data center infrastructure and related solutions, along with overseas power distribution products like reclosers.

The contract win provides a concrete measure of the intense demand for the foundational components of AI. As hyperscalers like Google and Meta expand their AI capabilities, they are fueling a construction boom that is straining the supply chain for power equipment, cooling systems, and skilled labor, according to industry executives. While Wasion did not disclose the specific capacity in megawatts, the size of the order highlights the scale of individual component deals required for data center projects.

This positions Wasion Energy as a key supplier in the AI infrastructure buildout, a market forecast to require trillions in investment. The deal shows how the value of the AI boom is being captured not just by chipmakers and software firms, but by industrial and energy companies providing the non-negotiable physical foundation for data centers.

The surge in demand for AI has ignited a financing and construction frenzy on Wall Street, with one JPMorgan banker recently describing capital requests for data center projects as "astronomical." This boom extends far beyond the well-known technology giants, creating a tailwind for a wide range of industrial suppliers.

Companies providing power management, testing, and construction equipment are seeing record demand. Keysight Technologies Inc., for example, recently reported a 56% year-over-year surge in orders to $2.05 billion, driven by AI data center deployments. Similarly, firms like Celestica Inc. and Monolithic Power Systems are benefiting from the need for advanced hardware and power solutions in cloud networking.

Wasion’s success in securing such a large overseas order book demonstrates the global nature of this demand. The contracts for power distribution equipment place it in a critical segment of the supply chain, as energy availability and management are frequently cited as the primary bottlenecks for new data center construction. This dependency on physical infrastructure was highlighted by Caterpillar's recent earnings, which showed a 48% increase in power generation sales, partly due to data center demand.

For investors, Wasion's contracts serve as a strong signal of growth in the less-visible corners of the AI supply chain. While the market has heavily focused on semiconductor firms, the significant and long-term investment required for data center construction suggests sustained growth for the industrial and energy companies that enable it. The 1.6 billion RMB win provides tangible evidence of Wasion's ability to capture a share of this expanding market.
