en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 3, Asian data center operator BDx Data Centers announced that its Indonesian operations have reached a series of power assurance milestones with state electricity company PLN, securing a total data center power portfolio of 1.2GW. This arrangement covers multiple campuses in Jakarta and West Java, targeting the construction needs of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, hyperscale data centers, and sovereign digital infrastructure.
The core of this power commitment is to synergistically bind data center expansion with national-level power infrastructure. BDx secured 788MVA of contracted grid power for its CGK4 AI campus in Jatiluhur, West Java. The CGK3A campus in Cilandak, South Jakarta, has been energized and its power capacity expanded to approximately 60MVA. The CGK5 campus in Suryacipta, West Java, is advancing high-voltage grid infrastructure, securing up to 385MVA of power capacity. These three developments collectively bring BDx Indonesia's secured power portfolio to 1.2GW, making it one of the largest power commitments among data center operators in the country. For AI data centers, land, cabinets, servers, and network connections all depend on a stable power supply. Especially with the continuous growth of GPU clusters, liquid cooling systems, and high-density computing loads, power assurance has become a critical prerequisite determining campus construction pace and customer delivery capabilities.
The relevant agreements for BDx Indonesia were signed in Jakarta. Participants included PLN and BDx Indonesia management, with cooperation focused on highly reliable power supply, capacity expansion, and long-term digital infrastructure support in the Jakarta and West Java regions.
This collaboration also reflects that the AI infrastructure competition in Southeast Asia is entering a phase where "computing campuses, grid assurance, and sovereign cloud demand" are advancing simultaneously. Indonesia, with its large population and rapidly growing demand for internet services, sees continuous demand for data processing capabilities from local cloud services, fintech, e-commerce, video platforms, and enterprise digital applications. As the need for AI training, inference, and sovereign data deployment increases, data center operators require not just traditional colocation space, but high-density infrastructure capable of hosting high-power GPU clusters like H100 and GB200. BDx stated that CGK4 is Indonesia's first campus to receive NVIDIA DGX-Ready certification, offering up to 650MW of renewable energy matching capacity and already supporting H100-class GPU deployment. CGK3 provides liquid-cooled, high-density computing capacity for Jakarta, while CGK5 further expands hyperscale data center coverage. For the Indonesian market, once such campuses achieve scale, they will help attract cloud service providers, AI companies, and multinational clients to run more computing tasks locally, reducing reliance on overseas infrastructure for critical digital operations.
Subsequent progress will depend on grid supporting projects, campus construction pace, delivery of liquid cooling and high-density cabinets, renewable energy matching capabilities, and hyperscale customer signings. As AI computing demand continues to spread across Southeast Asia, power resources, land reserves, network interconnection, and policy stability will collectively determine the competitive landscape of regional data center hubs. BDx's securing of a 1.2GW power commitment in Indonesia indicates that local AI and cloud infrastructure construction is moving beyond individual server room expansions into a larger-scale campus and platform phase.
