Indonesian data center operator BDx breaks ground on AI Campus 2 in Jatiluhur with a first 120MW facility scheduled for early 2027 completion.

BDx Data Centers, a joint venture of BDx Data Centers, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, and Lintasarta, has broken ground on AI Campus 2 (CGK4) in Jatiluhur, West Java, Indonesia. The 640MW campus is designed with a direct-to-chip liquid-cooling architecture engineered to support up to 500kW per rack for current and future AI accelerator generations. The first 120MW building is expected to enter service in early 2027, with six buildings planned at the site total. BDx expects to develop the campus over the next three years, commissioning buildings sequentially to meet accelerating demand for high-density AI capacity.

The campus will be backed by 845MVA of grid capacity. This power availability reflects significant agreements BDx secured with PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), Indonesia's electrical utility. In total, BDx negotiated 1.2GW of power from PLN—the single largest power commitment secured by any data center operator in Indonesia. The site achieved certification last year under Nvidia's DGX-Ready Colocation Data Center program and sits approximately five kilometers from the Jatiluhur Dam.

"Indonesia is entering a new phase of digital and AI development, and CGK4 is a long-term investment in the infrastructure that phase requires," said Mayank Srivastava, chief executive officer of BDx Data Centers. "It anchors a growing AI ecosystem in West Java: scalable, high-density capacity built to bring advanced AI workloads into production faster, with a reliable path for customers as demand grows."

Agus Hartono Wijaya, chief executive officer of BDx Indonesia, added: "This is a practical step forward for Indonesia's digital economy. We are putting sovereign, high-density AI infrastructure in place with our national partners. It allows local enterprises, government agencies, and developers to run advanced AI workloads domestically while creating skilled jobs and long-term value in West Java."

BDx was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Singapore, with an extensive portfolio of data centers and edge facilities across APAC including Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan. The company is targeting 1GW of capacity across the region.

In parallel, BDx broke ground on CGK3A in 2023 in the TB Simatupang area of South Jakarta, set to span 14,125 sqm (152,000 sq ft). The existing CGK3 offers 2MW across 1,200 sqm (12,915 sq ft) of white space. In July 2024, BDx completed phase one of a 500MW CGK4 campus with that initial phase delivering 70MW, qualifying as one of Indonesia's first Nvidia DGX-Ready certified data centers. The company is also developing CGK5 in Karawang, east of Jakarta, expected to reach 100MW at full buildout, though a completion date has not been announced.
