Jakarta, INTI - ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) has announced a series of major milestones at its Jakarta data center campus, reinforcing its commitment to supporting Indonesia’s rapidly growing digital economy and AI ecosystem.
Indonesia’s digital economy is projected to reach US$130 billion this year, with artificial intelligence emerging as a key driver of productivity and competitiveness across industries. At the same time, the country aims to expand its national data center capacity to 2.7 GW by 2030, reflecting the accelerating demand for digital infrastructure.
Against this backdrop, the expansion of the STT Jakarta Campus comes at a strategic moment.
Four Major Milestones at STT Jakarta Campus
During an event held at the Greenland International Industrial Centre (GIIC) in Cikarang, West Java, STT GDC announced four significant developments across its Jakarta campus.
STT Jakarta 2 has officially commenced operations with 24 MW of IT load capacity, while structural construction of STT Jakarta 3 has been completed.
Meanwhile, construction has officially begun on STT Jakarta 5 and STT Jakarta 6, each designed to deliver 40 MW of IT capacity.
Collectively, the campus is expected to provide more than 360 MW of AI-ready IT capacity, making it one of the most significant data center developments in Southeast Asia. The expansion follows a phased and long-term investment strategy aimed at supporting Indonesia’s growing digital infrastructure needs.
Located in Cikarang, the campus is strategically positioned closer to businesses, end users, and regulators, helping to enhance the delivery of digital and AI services across the region.
According to Bruno Lopez, the investment reflects the company’s confidence in Indonesia’s long-term growth potential.
Built for the Next Generation of AI
The STT Jakarta Campus has been designed to support NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Vera Rubin Ultra platforms, the latest generation of GPUs developed for high-density AI workloads.
To meet the increasing demands of AI computing, the facilities incorporate liquid-cooling capabilities, a technology that is becoming increasingly critical as computational density continues to rise.
As an official NVIDIA colocation partner, STT GDC has aligned the campus design with the infrastructure requirements of next-generation GPU deployments.
One of the campus’s most notable features is the integration of a high-voltage substation within the data center complex, reported to be the first operational installation of its kind in Indonesia’s data center industry.
The facility shortens power delivery paths to IT systems, reduces transmission losses, and enhances power reliability for both hyperscale and enterprise customers.
In support of sustainability goals, STT GDC is collaborating with Indonesia’s national electricity provider to implement renewable energy strategies, with a target of achieving carbon-neutral operations from day one.
STT Jakarta 3 has also been developed in accordance with green financing standards, supported by STT GDC’s first green loan facility in Indonesia. Globally, approximately 80 percent of the company’s operations are already powered by renewable energy, with similar targets being pursued for the Jakarta campus.
Building Talent Alongside Infrastructure
Recognizing that digital infrastructure requires a highly skilled workforce, STT GDC is investing in talent development alongside its physical expansion efforts.
The company has launched a partnership with ATMI Cikarang to develop specialists in data center operations and infrastructure management.
As part of the initiative, STT GDC has established a Data Centre Laboratory Learning Centre in West Java, where students gain hands-on experience using industry-standard equipment in an environment that mirrors real-world data center operations.
The program includes globally recognized Data Centre Fundamentals Certificate (DCFC) training in collaboration with EPI, as well as structured internships of up to ten months within STT GDC’s engineering and operations teams.
Since September 2025, participating students have been directly involved in supporting critical digital infrastructure operations.
By developing both infrastructure and talent simultaneously, STT GDC aims to address Indonesia’s shortage of skilled data center professionals while strengthening the foundations of the country’s digital economy.
The expansion is also expected to attract global cloud providers, AI companies, and international digital platforms to Jakarta’s growing technology ecosystem, creating high-skilled employment opportunities and generating long-term economic value.
Ultimately, the STT Jakarta Campus represents more than a data center expansion, it is a comprehensive effort to build Indonesia’s digital future through scalable infrastructure, AI-ready technology, sustainable operations, and a strong pipeline of local talent.
Conclusion
The expansion of the STT Jakarta Campus marks a significant step in strengthening Indonesia’s digital infrastructure. By combining large-scale AI-ready data center capacity, sustainable operations, and talent development initiatives, STT GDC is helping build the foundation needed to support the country’s growing digital economy and future AI-driven innovation.
