BDx: Behind Indonesia’s Largest Data Centre Power Commitment

AI may be transforming the technology landscape, but none of it happens without electricity.

As operators compete to build larger campuses capable of supporting ever-more demanding workloads, access to power is becoming one of the industry's most valuable assets.

In Indonesia, BDx Data Centers has taken a major step on that front, securing a total of 1.2GW of power capacity across its portfolio through a strengthened partnership with PLN.

That figure marks what BDx describes as the largest power commitment secured by any data centre operator in Indonesia and strengthens the company's position as it develops facilities designed for AI, cloud and hyperscale computing workloads.

The latest milestones span multiple campuses across Jakarta and West Java, with new grid power commitments supporting both existing facilities and future growth.

Power: a key data centre differentiator

As operators face mounting demand for AI training, inference and cloud services, access to reliable electricity shapes where and how data centres are being built.

The largest element of BDx's latest announcement focuses on its flagship CGK4 AI Campus in Jatiluhur, West Java, where the company secured 788MVA of contracted grid power.

The company has also completed the energisation of its CGK3A facility in Cilandak, South Jakarta, while expanding available capacity to around 60MVA.

Meanwhile, at the CGK5 campus in Suryacipta, West Java, work continues on high-voltage grid infrastructure, supported by up to 385MVA of secured power capacity.

Together, the projects push BDx's Indonesian power portfolio to the 1.2GW mark, creating a foundation for large-scale AI deployments and hyperscale data centre operations.

Agus Hartono Wijaya, CEO of BDx Indonesia, says: "Reliable and scalable power is foundational to Indonesia’s AI and digital infrastructure development.

"PLN’s professionalism and execution have been critical in enabling the expansion of our capacity across Jakarta and West Java.

"This collaboration supports the build-out of resilient, AI-ready infrastructure that can meet long-term demand from enterprise, hyperscale and sovereign workloads."

The agreements are formalised during a signing ceremony in Jakarta attended by senior leaders from BDx Indonesia and PLN, highlighting the importance of energy infrastructure to the country's digital growth plans.

Building capacity for AI workloads

The power commitments support a portfolio that BDx describes as one of Southeast Asia's most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystems.

At the heart of that strategy is CGK4, which the company describes as Indonesia's first NVIDIA DGX-ready-certified campus.

The site is designed to deliver up to 650MW of renewable-aligned capacity and already supports H100-class GPU deployments used for AI training and sovereign cloud workloads.

CGK3 plays a different role within the portfolio. Located in Jakarta, the campus provides liquid-cooled, high-density compute infrastructure designed for next-generation AI platforms, including NVIDIA GB200 systems.

CGK5 also extends the company's hyperscale footprint. With a planned 300MW capacity, the facility complements CGK4 and forms part of a wider effort to establish sovereign AI infrastructure within Indonesia.

The scale of the latest power agreements illustrates how AI is reshaping data centre planning. Operators need access not only to land and connectivity, but also to long-term electricity capacity capable of supporting high-performance computing environments.

For PLN, supporting that demand forms part of a broader commitment to Indonesia's digital economy.

Adi Priyanto, Director Retail & Commerce at PLN, says: "PLN remains committed to supporting strategic digital industries through reliable and scalable power infrastructure.

"Our collaboration with BDx reflects PLN’s role in enabling Indonesia’s AI and digital economy to grow in a resilient and sustainable manner."

A partnership built around infrastructure

The relationship between BDx and PLN extends beyond the supply of electricity.

Delivering power at the scale required by AI campuses and hyperscale facilities also depends on grid infrastructure and long-term planning between operators and utilities.

That coordination is becoming even more important as Indonesia seeks to strengthen its position as a regional technology destination and attract investment in AI and cloud services.

Martindar Jalu Respati, Senior Manager, Commercial & Customer Management, PLN West Java Distribution Main Unit, says: "Indonesia’s accelerating demand for AI and digital services requires close coordination between infrastructure providers and the national power ecosystem.

"PLN is proud to support the development of large-scale, high-reliability digital infrastructure that strengthens Indonesia’s competitiveness as a regional technology and AI hub."

The 1.2GW milestone provides BDx the power foundation for its next phase of expansion across Jakarta and West Java.

As AI workloads increase infrastructure requirements, securing energy capacity at this scale gives the operator additional room to grow its AI, cloud and hyperscale data centre footprint across Indonesia.
