This multi-phase campus expansion reflects STT GDC’s continued long-term investment in Indonesia’s digital infrastructure and its confidence in the country’s growth trajectory as a strategic market for cloud, AI and enterprise digitalisation.

“The potential for data centre development in Indonesia is highly significant, driven by the rapid pace of digital transformation and the increasing demand for reliable and secure information technology infrastructure. The growth in internet users, the expansion of e-commerce, the adoption of cloud-based services, and the advancement of artificial intelligence are key factors driving the rising demand for data centers in Indonesia. In addition, Indonesia’s strategic geographic position in Southeast Asia, its large market size, and strong government support through regulations and investment incentives further enhance its attractiveness to both domestic and global investors. In line with these developments, we support STT GDC’s commitment to contributing to Indonesia’s digital infrastructure growth and supporting the nation’s evolving digital economy. Furthermore, efforts to strengthen energy resilience and transition toward renewable energy create opportunities for sustainable data centre development. With these factors in place, Indonesia has the potential to become a major data centre hub in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Mr. Saribua Siahaan, Director of Investment Promotion for Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).

“STT GDC’s long-term investment in the nation through the expansion of the STT Jakarta Campus reflects the ongoing and strong partnership between Singapore and Indonesia, especially in growing the ASEAN digital economy,” remarked Kwok Fook Seng, Ambassador of the Republic of Singapore to Indonesia. “As demand for AI, cloud, and high-performance computing continue to increase, data centers become an important cornerstone of the digital economy and allow everyone to generate economic activity wherever they are.”

He added, “The fact that sustainability is at the forefront of STT GDC’s investment in Indonesia also showcases of the full potential of the green economy. STT GDC can infuse its best practices in Indonesia, moreover as 80% of its global operations have been powered by renewable energy, creating a future-oriented economy as both our nations move up the value chain.”

Driving long-term economic value 
Beyond increasing capacity, the STT Jakarta campus is expected to act as a magnet for global cloud, AI and digital platforms, catalysing new enterprise services and supporting high skilled jobs across engineering, operations and partner ecosystems. The economic impact of data centre developments extends well beyond initial construction investment with ongoing operations and partner activities expected to drive sustained economic value and support a broad base of jobs and long-term economic activity over the lifecycle of the campus.

Bruno Lopez, President and Group Chief Executive Officer, STT GDC, said, “Indonesia is one of Southeast Asia’s most important digital infrastructure markets, driven by accelerating demand for cloud and AI. This expansion reflects our conviction in this country’s long-term growth and our commitment to delivering the scale, resilience and readiness required to support Indonesia’s next phase of digital development.”

Expanding scalable, power-secured infrastructure
STT Jakarta 2 commences operations with 24MW of IT load capacity. STT Jakarta 3 is expected to further expand the campus upon completion, while STT Jakarta 5 and STT Jakarta 6 mark the next phase of development, with each facility planned to support 40MW of IT load. Upon full development, the campus will contribute to Indonesia’s broader national digital infrastructure ambitions. With the country’s data centre capacity projected to reach approximately 2.7GW by 2030², the scale and pace of infrastructure development will be critical to keeping up with accelerating digital and AI-driven demand.

This expansion is supported by an on‑site high‑voltage substation, the first to be energised for a data centre campus in Indonesia, to enhance power reliability and shorten the path from generation to IT load, reinforcing the campus’ ability to deliver scalable, power-secured infrastructure for hyperscale and enterprise customers. 

Delivering AI-ready and sustainable infrastructure
The campus is being developed to support high-density, AI-ready workloads, with data halls engineered for the next generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Vera Rubin Ultra platforms and ready for liquid cooling, backed by resilient power configurations and carrier-neutral connectivity to meet evolving performance requirements. As an NVIDIA colocation partner, STT GDC is aligning its Jakarta campus designs with the infrastructure requirements of next‑generation GPU platforms to support AI deployment at scale.

Sustainability considerations are integrated from infrastructure, energy strategy and financing perspectives. STT Jakarta 3, for instance, is designed to meet defined performance benchmarks, including targeted improvements in energy efficiency, the use of lower-global-warming-potential cooling systems and is aligned with recognised green financing frameworks as reflected in STT GDC’s recent inaugural green loan tranche in Indonesia. The on‑site high‑voltage substation is also designed to improve overall energy performance by reducing transmission losses and enhancing power quality to the campus.

Complementing these efficiency and technology measures, STT GDC is implementing a renewable energy strategy in collaboration with PLN that is designed to enable the campus to achieve carbon-neutral operations from day one. These efforts are part of STT GDC’s broader commitment to delivering infrastructure that is not only scalable and resilient, but also progressively lower‑carbon and resource-efficient over the long term. 

Hendrikus Hendra Gozali, Country Head, STT GDC Indonesia, said, “Indonesia is entering a new phase of digital growth where infrastructure readiness will become increasingly important in supporting AI adoption, cloud expansion, and enterprise transformation. The continued expansion of our Jakarta data centre campus underscores our long-term commitment to meeting these evolving needs with scalable, high-density capacity that supports both current and next-generation workloads, backed by secured high‑voltage power on‑site and carbon‑neutral operations from day one.”

This commitment extends beyond infrastructure into broader ecosystem development, including talent and skills.

Enabling long-term talent and community impact
As part of today’s STT Jakarta campus expansion ceremony, STT GDC is deepening partnerships with local vocational institutions, including ATMI Cikarang, to develop the specialised data centre skills required to operate AI ready, mission critical data centre infrastructure. This collaboration was formalised during a signing ceremony alongside the campus expansion event, underscoring the critical role of talent in enabling Indonesia’s next phase of digital growth.

Indonesia continues to see growing demand for digital talent, particularly in specialised sectors such as data centres, where industry-aligned training pathways remain limited. To help address this, STT GDC Indonesia has established a Data Centre Laboratory Learning Centre in West Java, in partnership with ATMI Cikarang, to support industry-relevant training. 

Through the Learning Centre, students gain hands-on experience with industrial-grade equipment in environments aligned with real data centre operations. This is complemented by globally recognised Data Centre Fundamentals Certificate (DCFC®) training delivered in partnership with EPI, as well as structured internships within STT GDC’s operations and engineering teams. Since September 2025, students have undertaken placements of up to 10 months, gaining practical exposure to the management of critical digital infrastructure.

Alongside workforce development, STT GDC is also supporting communities around its Jakarta campus through targeted initiatives, including a community badminton facility in Cikarang and environmental programmes such as mangrove planting to support coastal resilience and local livelihoods.

These initiatives strengthen workforce readiness while supporting a more resilient and inclusive ecosystem for Indonesia’s growing digital infrastructure sector.
