Digital Edge plans to invest US$4.5 billion to develop the 500MW “CGK Campus,” an AI-ready hyperscale data center campus in the GIIC Industrial Estate in Bekasi, east of Jakarta. The company says the site will scale to 1GW over time, positioning it as a major new capacity hub for the Greater Jakarta metro and one of the largest single-campus builds announced in Indonesia.
Digital Edge says the campus targets an annualized PUE of 1.25 and will support high-density AI deployments with direct-to-chip liquid cooling, recycled-water systems, and renewable-energy integration. The company also describes the campus as carrier-neutral, aiming to attract a mix of hyperscalers, enterprises, and network providers that want diverse interconnect options at a single location.
The campus will be built in phases, with three initial buildings scheduled for ready-for-service in Q4 2026, Q1 2027, and Q2 2027, respectively, and located ~40 km (25 miles) from Digital Edge’s downtown EDGE1/EDGE2 facilities. Connectivity will tie into the fiber and network assets of Indonet, which Digital Edge identifies as its wholly owned Indonesian telecommunications subsidiary.
- Investment size: US$4.5 billion
- Planned IT capacity: 500MW at full build, scalable to 1GW
- Efficiency target: 1.25 annualized PUE (as stated by the company)
- Cooling and sustainability: direct-to-chip liquid cooling, recycled-water systems, renewable-energy integration
- Build schedule (phase one): Building 1 (Q4 2026), Building 2 (Q1 2027), Building 3 (Q2 2027)
- Location: GIIC Industrial Estate, Bekasi; ~40 km (25 miles) from EDGE1/EDGE2 in central Jakarta
“This landmark investment will enable us to drive the next decade of innovation, cloud adoption, and digital services across Indonesia and the broader region.”
🌐 Analysis: Headquartered in Singapore and backed by Stonepeak, Digital Edge positions itself as a pan-APAC data center and fiber platform spanning nine countries and more than 1.4GW of secured IT power; management cited in this release includes CEO John Freeman plus local leadership in Indonesia (Stephanus Oscar) and Indonet (Andy Rigoli), with Jakarta capacity anchored by the EDGE1 (6MW IT load) and EDGE2 (23MW IT load) facilities. The CGK buildout lands as regional peers accelerate AI-oriented campuses and national capacity expansions across APAC, raising the premium on power procurement, liquid-cooling readiness, and dense metro fiber routes as differentiators for hyperscale site selection.
