STT GDC revs up Jakarta expansion with 360MW of AI-ready capacity

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) has launched STT Jakarta 2, topped out STT Jakarta 3, and broke ground for STT Jakarta 5 and STT Jakarta 6 — all part of a major expansion of its STT Jakarta data centre campus.

These milestones advance a long-term development pipeline of more than 360MW of AI‐ready, sustainable IT capacity in Indonesia to meet the country’s growing cloud, AI and digital infrastructure needs. 

By expanding hyperscale‐grade, locally hosted infrastructure in Greater Jakarta, STT GDC is helping to meet Indonesia’s demand for high‐performance digital infrastructure that keeps AI and other digital workloads closer to users, businesses and regulators. 

“As demand for AI, cloud, and high-performance computing continues to increase, data centers become an important cornerstone of the digital economy and allow everyone to generate economic activity wherever they are,” said Kwok Fook Seng, Ambassador of Singapore to Indonesia.

Beyond increasing capacity, the STT Jakarta campus is expected to act as a magnet for global cloud, AI and digital platforms, catalysing new enterprise services and supporting high-skilled jobs across engineering, operations and partner ecosystems. 

Bruno Lopez, president and group CEO of STT GDC, said, Indonesia is one of Southeast Asia’s most important digital infrastructure markets, driven by accelerating demand for cloud and AI. 

STT Jakarta 2 starts operations with 24MW of IT load capacity. STT Jakarta 3 is expected to further expand the campus upon completion, while STT Jakarta 5 and STT Jakarta 6 mark the next phase of development, with each facility planned to support 40MW of IT load. 

Upon full development, the campus will contribute to Indonesia’s broader national digital infrastructure ambitions. With the country’s data centre capacity projected to reach approximately 2.7GW by 2030, the scale and pace of infrastructure development will be critical to keeping up with accelerating digital and AI-driven demand. 

This expansion is supported by an on‐site high‐voltage substation, the first to be energised for a data centre campus in Indonesia, to enhance power reliability and shorten the path from generation to IT load, reinforcing the campus’ ability to deliver scalable, power-secured infrastructure for hyperscale and enterprise customers. 

The campus is being developed to support high-density, AI-ready workloads, with data halls engineered for the next generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Vera Rubin Ultra platforms and ready for liquid cooling, backed by resilient power configurations and carrier-neutral connectivity to meet evolving performance requirements. 

“The continued expansion of our Jakarta data centre campus underscores our long-term commitment to meeting these evolving needs with scalable, high-density capacity that supports both current and next-generation workloads, backed by secured high‐voltage power on‐site and carbon‐neutral operations from day one,” said Hendrikus Hendra Gozali, country head at STT GDC Indonesia. 

Also, STT GDC is deepening partnerships with local vocational institutions, including ATMI Cikarang, to develop the specialised data centre skills required to operate AI-ready, mission-critical data centre infrastructure. 

Indonesia continues to see growing demand for digital talent, particularly in specialised sectors such as data centres, where industry-aligned training pathways remain limited. 

To help address this, STT GDC Indonesia has established a Data Centre Laboratory Learning Centre in West Java, in partnership with ATMI Cikarang, to support industry-relevant training.
