Singtel, in partnership with Indonesia’s largest telco Telkom and Indonesian energy company Medco Power, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new hyperscale data centre located in Kabil Industrial Estate along Batam’s eastern seaboard. This is Singtel’s first data centre project in Indonesia.
The data centre campus will be developed in three phases on an 8-hectare site and have a total capacity of 51 MW when fully completed with the initial phase of the project delivering approximately 20 MW.
The data centre will be majority owned by Telkom while Singtel and Medco Power will be minority shareholders.
Mr Andrew Lim, Chief Commercial Officer of Singtel’s Regional Data Centre business said, “This strategic partnership with Telkom and Medco Power in Batam marks our first foray into the data centre market in Indonesia. As Southeast Asia’s largest digital economy, Indonesia is core to our expansion plans into high growth markets. Our track record in designing, building, and operating data centres, combined with Telkom and Medco Power’s deep expertise in their respective fields will prove a powerful partnership.”
