BDx Jakarta CGK3: 60MVA Liquid-Cooled AI Data Center
Status: Active / Phase 1 Operational & Expansion Energization Complete (June 2026) | Location: Cilandak, South Jakarta City, Jakarta, Indonesia
Project Overview
The BDx Jakarta CGK3 Data Center Campus, anchored by its flagship CGK3A expansion phase in Cilandak, South Jakarta, represents one of Indonesia’s most advanced and strategically positioned high-density digital infrastructure developments. As a cornerstone of BDx Indonesia’s growing nationwide portfolio of carrier-neutral data center facilities, the campus has been purpose-built to accommodate the extraordinary power, cooling, and operational requirements of next-generation artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing, and hyperscale cloud workloads. Engineered from the ground up with future-ready infrastructure, CGK3 is designed to support some of the industry’s most demanding AI hardware platforms, including NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 systems, H100 GPU clusters, and other accelerator-rich computing environments that require exceptionally high rack densities and sophisticated thermal management solutions. A major milestone was achieved in June 2026 when the campus benefited from a significant grid-energization enhancement enabled through a strategic 1.2-gigawatt national power agreement between BDx and PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), strengthening long-term power availability and supporting continued capacity expansion across Indonesia’s rapidly evolving digital economy. The campus incorporates advanced liquid-cooling technologies, resilient power distribution architecture, and scalable deployment environments capable of handling increasingly complex AI training and inference operations. Located within Jakarta’s urban core, CGK3 offers substantial advantages over more remote facilities by delivering low-latency connectivity to major enterprise districts, telecommunications networks, financial institutions, and cloud users throughout the metropolitan region. This strategic positioning enables hyperscale operators, government agencies, digital service providers, and large enterprises to deploy intensive computing workloads closer to end users while avoiding many of the real estate limitations, network inefficiencies, and latency challenges commonly associated with legacy regional infrastructure. As demand for AI and cloud services continues to accelerate across Southeast Asia, CGK3 is poised to serve as a critical foundation for Indonesia’s next generation of digital growth and technological innovation.
