INDONESIA SUSTAINABLE DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT
WHAT
Indonesia is prioritizing data centers as core digital infrastructure to support economic growth, public services, and digital sovereignty. Demand is being driven by cloud adoption, digital government, fintech, ecommerce, and the early rollout of AI applications; with the opportunities included are:
- Hyperscale and wholesale data centers, particularly in Greater Jakarta (which already holds ~60–65% of national capacity, anchored by enterprises, cloud, and government systems) and Batam, driven by domestic demand and spillover from Singapore.
- Data localization requirements, Government Regulations No. 71 and the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law require public sector and certain regulated data (e.g. financial services and health) to be stored and processed in Indonesia.
- AIready and highdensity facilities developments increasingly target 15–30 kW per rack and above, with liquid or hybrid cooling. Multiple operators have announced AIready facilities coming online between 2026–2028, reflecting rising enterprise and publicsector AI adoption.
- Data Center Sustainability and Energy Efficiency typically target PUE below 1.5, with growing interest in renewablelinked power supply, advanced cooling, and energy monitoring, in line with Net Zero Emissions 2060 and emerging ESG requirements from hyperscalers and institutional investors.
- Secondary cities and edge data centers outside Jakarta; other cities such as Surabaya, Bandung, Medan have significant growing share for regional, edge, and industrial use cases.
