Digital Edge commits $5.68b to build 500MW data centre in Indonesia

Bekasi hyperscale campus scales to 1GW with first phase due 2026

Singapore-based company, Digital Edge, said it will invest $5.68b (US$4.5b) to develop the CGK Campus, a 500MW AI-ready hyperscale data centre in the GIIC Industrial Estate in Bekasi, according to a press release.

The campus will deliver 500MW of IT capacity at full build-out, with scalability to 1GW, as Digital Edge targets demand from cloud and artificial intelligence workloads in Indonesia’s expanding digital economy, the company said.

Design specifications place operational efficiency at the core of the project. The campus targets an annualised power usage effectiveness of 1.25 and will incorporate direct-to-chip liquid cooling, recycled water systems, and renewable energy integration, operating as a carrier-neutral facility, according to the company.

The site sits less than 15 kilometres from major data centre clusters and about 40 kilometres from Digital Edge’s EDGE1 and EDGE2 facilities, enabling low-latency access to Jakarta’s business districts.

Construction will proceed in phases, with the first of three initial buildings scheduled to enter service in Q4 2026, followed by additional buildings in Q1 2027 and Q2 2027, the company said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
