EDGNEX Data Centers by DAMAC, a global digital infrastructure company backed by Dubai-headquartered DAMAC Group, has announced the development of a next-generation, AI-powered data center in Jakarta, Indonesia – its second facility in the country and one of Southeast Asia’s largest AI-dedicated infrastructure projects.
The new facility will have a projected capacity of 144 megawatts (MW) and represents a total investment of $2.3bn.
Land acquisition was completed in March 2025, and the site has now entered early construction phases. Phase one of the project is expected to be ready for service by December 2026.
Designed to support high-density AI workloads, the Jakarta data centre aims to address Indonesia’s digital infrastructure gaps, including limited hyperscale readiness and rising latency challenges.
EDGNEX projects: Second in Indonesia
“This is our second project in Indonesia, and this development reinforces our commitment to bridging the digital divide in fast-growing markets across Southeast Asia,” said Hussain Sajwani, founder of DAMAC Group. “We are proud to build what will become one of Southeast Asia’s most advanced, sustainable data centers to power the next wave of innovation and digital growth. The scale of AI workloads demands a new class of infrastructure.”
The facility will target a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.32, reflecting EDGNEX’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
The new development expands EDGNEX’s presence across Southeast Asia, including ongoing projects in Thailand and Malaysia.
This second Jakarta data centre follows the company’s 2024 announcement of its first Indonesian project — a 19.2 MW facility in the MT Haryono area, one of Jakarta’s most interconnected data centre clusters.
That site is scheduled to go live in Q3 2026, catering to growing demand from cloud service providers, edge computing platforms, and AI solutions.
To date, EDGNEX has committed over $3bn to digital infrastructure investments across Southeast Asia.
The company’s regional target is to reach over 300MW of operational capacity by 2026.
