PDG reveals 120MW AI-Ready hyperscale campus in Jakarta

Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has begun construction on a new 120MW data centre campus, claiming it to be one of the largest single-site builds underway in Indonesia.

The “AI-ready hyperscale” JC3 campus, backed by a US$1 billion investment, expands PDG’s footprint in Greater Jakarta and underscores the country’s rising status as a core market for cloud and AI infrastructure in Asia-Pacific.

Located 25km from PDG’s JC2 facility in Cibitung, the new site will be supported by dual-grid power feeds from state utility PLN, with the entire power requirement already contracted. The carrier-neutral campus will also link into multiple fibre routes connecting to Jakarta’s key network ecosystems and internet exchanges, ensuring access to diverse, low-latency pathways for cloud and content providers.

Designed specifically for hyperscale and AI workloads, JC3 will use modular construction to accelerate deployment and allow phased expansion. The facility incorporates direct-to-chip liquid cooling as standard - reflecting the growing shift toward high-density compute - while still offering conventional cooling for mixed workloads. The first phase is targeted to come online in Q4 2026.

The campus will draw on renewable energy and target LEED certification, a construction sustainability industry benchmark, as part of PDG’s Net Zero 2030 commitments. JC3 follows the company’s JC2 site, which became Indonesia’s first data centre powered by biomass; the new facility builds on that model through next-generation liquid cooling to reduce energy consumption for AI clusters.

“Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in Asia Pacific, and we remain deeply committed to supporting its continued growth,” said PDG Co-founder and COO Varoon Raghavan. “JC3 is purpose-built to deliver the scale, performance, and sustainability our customers need as cloud and AI demand accelerates.”

The addition of JC3 will bring PDG’s total capacity in Indonesia to around 230MW.
