Digital Edge (Singapore) Holdings Pte. Lts. has commenced construction of a 23MW data centre in Jakarta, Indonesia. The data centre, dubbed EDGE2, will be operated by PT. Ekagrata Data Gemilang (EDGE DC).

“The growth opportunities in southeast Asia are vast and our presence in Indonesia plays an important role in our mission to bridge the digital divide in these high growth markets,” said Samuel Lee, Chief Executive Officer at Digital Edge.

EDGE2, Digital Edge’s third data centre in the region, will feature 3,430 cabinets and is designed to meet the growing demand for high power density applications from local and international network providers, cloud-driven hyperscale deployments, and financial service providers. The data centre is due for completion in the fourth quarter of 2023.

EDGE2 will become a part of the virtual campus with EDGE1, which sits less than 3km away, and customers will be able to take advantage of the network density and internet exchanges already present in EDGE1 from the outset. The new data centre incorporates green design principles to reduce its carbon footprint, in line with Digital Edge’s Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) strategy. The facility has a design annualized PUE of 1.27 and will leverage Nortek’s StatePoint® liquid cooling technology, making it the most energy efficient data centre in the Jakarta metro. It will also utilize renewable energy solutions similar to the Renewable Energy Certificate which the EDGE1 facility recently received.
