BDx Jakarta CGK5 Data Center Campus

Status: Active / Under Heavy High-Voltage Grid Construction (Tracking June 2026)   |   Location: Suryacipta City of Industry, Jalan Kutanegara, Kutamekar, Karawang, West Java 41361, Indonesia


Project Overview

The BDx Jakarta CGK5 Data Center Campus is one of Indonesia’s most significant next-generation digital infrastructure projects, representing a monumental 100MW greenfield development strategically located on a 12-acre (4.9-hectare) site within the Suryacipta City of Industry in Karawang, West Java. Positioned approximately 70 kilometers east of central Jakarta, the campus marks the first purpose-built hyperscale mega-campus developed from the ground up by BDx Indonesia since the company’s establishment as a prominent joint venture focused on expanding the nation’s digital infrastructure capacity. Designed to serve the rapidly growing requirements of hyperscale cloud providers, enterprise customers, government agencies, and artificial intelligence platforms, CGK5 is engineered with a highly scalable architecture capable of supporting large-scale cloud deployments, advanced machine learning environments, high-performance computing workloads, and sovereign AI training operations. By June 2026, the project was advancing through major high-voltage electrical infrastructure construction and utility integration activities, supported by a landmark nationwide 1.2-gigawatt power partnership between BDx and Indonesia’s state utility provider, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). As part of this strategic alliance, the Karawang campus has secured a substantial 385 MVA power allocation, providing the long-term energy capacity necessary to support future expansion phases and increasingly power-intensive computing environments. Located within one of Indonesia’s most advanced smart industrial estates, the campus benefits from modern transportation links, robust utility networks, and a business-friendly ecosystem designed to attract technology investment. Beyond expanding BDx’s regional availability footprint, CGK5 provides critical geographic diversification outside Jakarta’s urban core, enabling enhanced disaster recovery capabilities, network redundancy, operational resilience, and scalable growth opportunities. Once fully operational, the campus is expected to become a key digital gateway supporting Indonesia’s accelerating cloud adoption, AI innovation, and broader digital transformation objectives while strengthening the nation’s position as a major technology hub in Southeast Asia.
