Singtel’s Nxera secures $643m green loan for DC Tuas data centre

DC Tuas is set to be operational in 2026.

Singtel’s data centre arm, Nxera DCT Pte Ltd., has obtained a $643m five-year green loan to develop its 58MW DC Tuas data centre.

The loan is financed by DBS, OCBC, Standard Chartered, HSBC, and UOB, who also serve as green loan coordinators.

DC Tuas, set to be operational in 2026, will be Singapore’s most hyper-connected green data centre with high power density, a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) below 1.25, and next-generation cooling systems capable of supporting AI workloads above 30kW per rack.

The facility has already earned the Green Mark Platinum certification.

Arthur Lang, Singtel Group CFO, said the centre will “support Singapore’s digital economy whilst reducing our carbon footprint” and reflects Nxera’s goal to reach scope 1 and 2 net-zero emissions by 2028.

The loan is part of Singtel’s Olives sustainable financing programme.

In December 2023, the Group secured a $535m green loan for DC West and DC Kim Chuan.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
