Singapore-based data center firm Digital Edge announced Wednesday a $4.5 billion investment to build CGK Campus, one of Indonesia’s largest artificial intelligence (AI)-ready hyperscale data center campuses, in the GIIC Industrial Estate in Bekasi.

The firm said in a statement that the 500MW CGK Campus marks the company’s largest infrastructure commitment to date and underscores its commitment to powering digital transformation in Asia Pacific.

Designed to support the country’s rapidly expanding digital economy, the CGK Campus will deliver 500MW of information technology (IT) capacity at full development, with scalability up to 1GW, establishing a new benchmark for hyperscale and AI-ready capability in Greater Jakarta.

Engineered for next-generation AI workloads with sustainability and operational efficiency at its core, the CGK Campus targets a market-leading annualized PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of 1.25 and features direct-to-chip liquid cooling, recycled water systems, and renewable energy integration.

Carrier-neutral and sustainably designed, the campus delivers efficient energy use, network diversity, and broad ecosystem access – reinforcing its role as a central hub for the Indonesia’s digital future.

Strategically located – less than 15 kilometers from other major data center clusters and approximately 40 kilometers from Digital Edge’s downtown EDGE1 and EDGE2 facilities – the campus offers low-latency access to the capital’s key business districts while anchoring Indonesia’s broader digital ecosystem.

The campus will be built in multiple phases. Phase one includes three buildings: The first building is scheduled to be ready for service by the fourth quarter of 2026, followed by the second in the first quarter of 2027 and third in the second quarter of 2027.

“The CGK Campus is a pivotal milestone in our APAC strategy and our largest infrastructure investment to date,

“This landmark investment will enable us to drive the next decade of innovation, cloud adoption, and digital services across Indonesia and the broader region,” said John Freeman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Edge.

Stephanus Oscar, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Edge Indonesia, added that Indonesia’s digital economy is expanding faster than infrastructure can keep up.

“The CGK Campus bridges that gap with 500MW of sustainable, carrier-neutral capacity built for hyperscale and AI deployments,

“With AI shaping the future of enterprise and cloud services, Digital Edge is at the forefront of this transformation,” he added.

It is noted that the campus will be underpinned by the extensive fiber and network assets of Indonet, Digital Edge’s wholly owned Indonesian telecommunications subsidiary.

“Our infrastructure provides the connectivity foundation for CGK Campus. Our new routes to the GIIC campus are built 100 percent underground, a design that significantly enhances reliability and resilience compared to traditional deployments,

“Combined with industry-leading equipment and advanced monitoring, this integration enables Digital Edge to deliver carrier-neutral solutions that meet the highest standards for hyperscale and enterprise customers,” said Andy Rigoli, Chief Executive Officer of Indonet.
