Digital Realty, the world’s largest cloud- and carrier-neutral data centre platform, has been selected to develop a new data centre on Jurong Island, Singapore, with a provisional allocation of 50 megawatts (MW). This development is part of Singapore’s second Data Centre Call for Application (DC-CFA2), led by the Singapore Economic Development Board and Infocomm Media Development Authority.
The new facility will be Digital Realty’s fourth in Singapore, expanding its total capacity to support the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) inference, high-performance computing, and enterprise digital workloads. The data centre will adhere to DC-CFA2’s energy efficiency standards, with over 50% of its capacity powered by green energy pathways.
Digital Realty has been operating in Singapore since 2010, with three data centres providing approximately 84 MW of combined capacity. The expansion aims to bolster Singapore’s role as a regional digital hub, particularly as AI technologies advance and require infrastructure closer to users and enterprise data.
Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific at Digital Realty, stated, “Singapore has long been a strategic market for Digital Realty, and we are honoured to be selected under DC-CFA2 at such an important moment for the country’s digital future.”
The new Jurong Island facility will also contribute to Digital Realty’s sustainability initiatives, building on its existing operations in Singapore that achieve 100% renewable energy coverage. The company plans to continue investing in resilient digital infrastructure and local partnerships to support Singapore’s long-term digital competitiveness.
