Data-center operator BDx has broken ground on a 640-MW AI data-center campus in West Java, Indonesia, backed by 845 MVA of grid power secured from the state utility.
In a statement on Tuesday, Singapore-based BDx said the facility, called CGK4, is in line with the rising demand for AI computing capacity across Southeast Asia.
The campus will be built over about three years across six buildings. The first building will provide 120 MW of capacity, with an initial contracted phase due in service in early 2027, using direct-to-chip liquid cooling able to support up to 500 kW per rack for AI chips.
The 845 MVA of capacity comes from state utility PLN and forms part of more than 1.2 GVA of power BDx has secured across its Indonesian campuses, the company said. BDx seeks a hydroelectric supply arrangement to lower the campus’s carbon footprint.
CGK4 is part of a broader AI-campus expansion supported by a $320 million loan facility BDx secured this year, attracting interest from hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises.
CGK4 is Indonesia’s first campus certified under NVIDIA’s DGX-Ready colocation program. BDx runs its Indonesian operations through BDx Indonesia, a joint venture with telecoms group Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and IT firm Lintasarta.
Agus Hartono Wijaya, chief executive of BDx Indonesia, said it would let local firms and government agencies run advanced AI workloads domestically and create skilled jobs.
