Digital Edge announced a US$4.5 billion investment to develop the CGK Campus, an AI-ready hyperscale data‑centre campus in the GIIC Industrial Estate, Bekasi, on the eastern edge of Greater Jakarta. The company said the campus will deliver 500 MW of IT capacity at full development with planned scalability up to 1 GW, making it one of the largest data‑centre projects announced in Indonesia to date.

The operator has positioned the site for next‑generation AI workloads and energy efficiency. Digital Edge’s announcement lists direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling, recycled‑water systems and renewable energy integration among planned features and says the campus is targeting an annualised PUE of about 1.25. Those design choices are intended to support high power densities and lower operational energy per unit of compute. [2][3]
CGK Campus will be built in multiple phases, with phase one comprising three buildings. Digital Edge scheduled the first building to be ready for service in Q4 2026, with the second and third buildings expected in Q1 and Q2 2027, respectively — timelines that will be relevant to operators planning capacity and migration windows in the region. [2][3]
Location and connectivity were emphasised in the company release. The site sits within Bekasi’s GIIC industrial zone, reportedly less than 15 km from other Jakarta data‑centre clusters and about 40 km from Digital Edge’s existing downtown EDGE1 and EDGE2 facilities, a proximity intended to provide low‑latency access to the capital’s business districts. The company also said the campus will be underpinned by connectivity from Indonet, its Indonesian telecommunications subsidiary. [2][3]
For data‑centre operators and planners, the scale of power and land required for a 500 MW campus (and potential expansion to 1 GW) will be the primary operational consideration. Digital Edge describes the commitment as its largest infrastructure investment to date and notes support from its financial backers, which it says enables the project. Grid capacity, permitting timelines, and local utility agreements will determine how quickly the announced capacity can be energised — matters operators and hyperscalers typically factor into procurement and build schedules. [2][3]
Digital Edge’s public statement frames CGK Campus as an anchor for Indonesia’s broader digital ecosystem; the company said the project is carrier‑neutral and designed to support cloud, hyperscale and enterprise customers. Operators and customers seeking space or power in Jakarta’s market will likely watch the campus’ phase‑by‑phase build and the firm’s follow‑on disclosures about site‑level power contracts and local permitting milestones.
