EDB, IMDA allocate 200MW to 4 data centre operators

Over 20 proposals competed under the second Data Centre Call for Application.

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) have provisionally allocated 200 megawatts (MW) of new capacity to four data centre (DC) operators after receiving more than 20 proposals.

The second Data Centre—Call for Application (DC-CFA2) exercise allocated 50 MW each to Digital Realty, Equinix, Keppel Data Centres, and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres.

The four operators have committed to exceed DC-CFA2’s minimum sustainability requirements, including powering more than 50% of their DC capacity with green energy and adopting technologies such as liquid cooling and 100% energy-efficient IT equipment.

IMDA said the proposals were selected through an open competitive process based on their ability to meet DC-CFA2’s strategic, economic, and sustainability objectives.

The selected projects will anchor advanced computing capabilities for technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and contribute to Singapore’s economy through investments in innovation, talent development, and research and development collaborations with Singapore-based partners.

The projects will also power at least 50% of their proposed capacity through green energy pathways, including biomethane, low-carbon ammonia, low-carbon hydrogen, and vertical building-integrated or building-applied photovoltaics.

The DCs will adopt liquid cooling and 100% energy-efficient IT equipment and meet Green Mark DC Platinum Certification.

JTC is developing a low-carbon data centre park on Jurong Island, where the supported facilities will be located, to tap low-carbon technology synergies across the island.

EDB and IMDA will continue to engage industry stakeholders and review the need for another Call for Application in 18 to 24 months.

Launched in December 2025, DC-CFA2 sought to strengthen Singapore’s position as a hub for AI and data centre investment, whilst supporting infrastructure resilience, economic development, and sustainable energy use.

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.
