Nxera has opened DC Tuas, a new multi-tenanted data centre in Singapore designed to support high-density AI, cloud, and high-performance computing workloads. The facility adds 58MW of AI-ready capacity, lifting Nxera’s total installed capacity in Singapore to 120MW, with more than 90% of DC Tuas committed prior to launch.
DC Tuas targets next-generation AI infrastructure through high rack densities and Singapore’s largest direct-to-chip liquid-cooling deployment in a carrier-neutral, multi-tenant environment. Nxera says the cooling architecture improves heat extraction while reducing energy and water consumption compared with conventional systems, enabling customers to deploy large-scale AI platforms efficiently.
The eight-storey, 120,000-square-foot facility integrates directly with a cable landing station, providing access to domestic and international networks as part of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo platform. Nxera reports a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.25 and says DC Tuas meets Green Mark Platinum standards, incorporating smart thermal design, high-efficiency electrical systems, solar power, and water-reuse technologies.
- 58MW of AI-ready capacity; Singapore footprint increases to 120MW
- High rack-density design with direct-to-chip liquid cooling
- Carrier-neutral, multi-tenanted architecture
- Integrated cable landing station for low-latency connectivity
- PUE of 1.25 with Green Mark Platinum certification
- More than 90% of capacity committed at opening
- Additional AI-ready capacity planned in Batam and Johor in 2H 2026; regional pipeline to exceed 400MW mid-term
“The opening of our new AI-ready data centre, DC Tuas, is an important milestone for Nxera as we expand our role in enabling AI innovations in Singapore,” said Bill Chang, CEO of Nxera and Singtel’s Digital InfraCo unit. “The ability to deploy higher-density, compute-intensive AI workloads sustainably is increasingly critical for a strategic market where data centre capacity is constrained.”
🌐 Analysis
DC Tuas underscores how Singapore operators are prioritizing power density, liquid cooling, and network adjacency as AI clusters push beyond traditional colocation limits. Nxera’s expansion plans in neighboring markets mirror a broader regional strategy to balance Singapore’s capacity constraints with cross-border AI infrastructure growth.
