HANOI - Alphabet's Google is considering building a large data centre in Vietnam , a person briefed on the plans said, in what would be the first such investment by a big U.S. technology company in the Southeast Asian nation.

It was not clear how quickly Google will reach a decision on an investment but the source said internal talks are on and the data centre could be ready in 2027.Hyperscale centres are the largest in the industry, with power consumption usually similar to that of a big city. Currently the top data centre operators in Vietnam, based on computing space, are industrial investment firm IDC Becamex and telecommunications company VNPT, both Vietnamese state-owned enterprises, according to an internal market report by an industrial park in Vietnam seen by Reuters.The Nikkei reported in May that Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba was considering building a data centre in Vietnam. Alibaba did not reply to a request for comment.

Unattractive regulations on foreign ownership and data localisation have also long been a hurdle, but in a reform approved in November Vietnamese legislators decided to allow overseas data centre operators to retain full ownership. "We now have a team on the ground to better serve our Vietnam-based advertising customers and support the country's digital transformation," a spokesperson for Google told Reuters.
