Batam Phase 2 expansion targets Jakarta industrial park development The partnership’ s immediate focus centres on the 20MW Phase 2 development on adjacent land within Nongsa Digital Park. This expansion will more than double the facility’ s capacity while establishing the joint venture as a major operator in Indonesia’ s emerging data centre market.
“ Our immediate priority is to develop Phase 2, which is the adjacent parcel of land,” says Nicholas.“ That’ s 20 megawatts in addition to what we have there already.”
Beyond Batam, longer-term expansion plans target Jakarta, where Indonesia’ s data centre market is most developed and where Sinar Primera maintains strategic land holdings. The capital offers established power infrastructure, water availability and proximity to the country’ s largest enterprise market.
