Princeton Digital Group (PDG), the Singapore-based data center provider, has on Wednesday broken ground on its $1 billion, 120 MW artificial intelligence (AI)-ready hyperscale data center campus in Greenland International Industrial Center (GIIC), Bekasi Regency, Greater Jakarta.

The JC3 campus is among Indonesia’s largest and most advanced data center facilities, the firm said in a statement.

Located 25 km from PDG’s JC2 campus in Cibitung, JC3 will feature dual-grid power feeds from PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN Persero), with full power capacity already contracted for the facility.

The carrier-neutral facility will offer multiple fiber routes to Jakarta’s core network ecosystem and key internet exchanges, enabling seamless connections for customers.

The campus is purpose-built for hyperscale and AI workloads, incorporating modular construction for scalability and speed.

It features advanced direct-to-chip cooling, and also has the flexibility to provide conventional cooling.

The project is fast-tracked for delivery, with the first phase planned to be ready-for-service by the fourth quarter of 2026.

In alignment with PDG’s Net Zero 2030 commitment, the JC3 campus will leverage renewable energy sources and is targeting LEED certification.

Building on the success of JC2, Indonesia’s first data center powered by biomass, JC3 advances this commitment through next-generation liquid cooling, enabling high-density workloads while enhancing energy efficiency and environmental performance, underscoring PDG’s dedication to building and operating sustainable and reliable digital infrastructure.

“Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in Asia Pacific, and we remain deeply committed to supporting its continued growth,

“Backed by a proven track record of delivery excellence across the region, our JC3 campus is purpose-built to provide the scale, performance, and sustainability our global and local customers require as cloud and AI workloads accelerate,” said Varoon Raghavan, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of PDG.

With the addition of the new JC3 campus, PDG’s total capacity in Indonesia will reach approximately 230 MW, reinforcing its position as one of the largest and most trusted data center operators in the country.
