EDGNEX announces the development of AI-powered data centre in Jakarta
EDGNEX Data Centers by DAMAC has announced the development of a next-generation AI-powered data centre in Jakarta, Indonesia, marking its second entry into the market. The milestone project stands as one of Southeast Asia's largest AI-dedicated developments, with a projected capacity of 144MW and a substantial investment of US $2.3mn. It will significantly accelerate the country's transition from an analogue base to an AI-driven digital economy. Despite being a high-potential Southeast Asian market, Indonesia faces challenges such as digital infrastructure gaps, limited hyperscale readiness, and rising latency issues. As AI adoption accelerates across various sectors, this project addresses the nation's growing demand for scalable and energy-efficient infrastructure, the statement outlined. Following successful land acquisition in March 2025 by DAMAC, the site commenced early construction phases. The facility's first phase is anticipated to be operational by December 2026. The Jakarta facility will be equipped with high-density AI racks, setting new standards for next-generation infrastructure in the region, and will serve an asset in Indonesia's digital transformation. 'This is our second project in Indonesia, and this development reinforces our commitment to bridging the digital divide in fast-growing markets across Southeast Asia (SEA), such as Indonesia,' said Hussain Sajwani, Founder of DAMAC Group. 'We are proud to build what will become one of Southeast Asia's most advanced, sustainable data centres to power the next wave of innovation and digital growth. The scale of AI workloads demands a new class of infrastructure. This project is part of our broader push across SEA, where we have committed over $3bn in digital infrastructure investments to date.' The facility aims to achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.32, enhancing energy efficiency and aligning with EDGNEX's global sustainability standards. This expansion builds upon EDGNEX's growing presence in Thailand, Malaysia, and other key Southeast Asian markets. In 2024, EDGNEX made a significant move by announcing its first data centre in Indonesia, the firm explained. This 19.2MW data centre will be constructed at MT Haryono in Jakarta, located in the interconnected data centre clusters within Jakarta's central data hub. The primary objective of this data centre is to address the increasing demand for cloud service providers, edge nodes, and potential AI deployments. The first phase of construction is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. EDGNEX's regional goal for Southeast Asia is to achieve a combined operational capacity of over 300 MW by 2026, the statement concluded.
