DCI Indonesia, in partnership with Salim Group, has unveiled their second data center, H2-02, at the H2 Data Center Campus in Karawang. DCI has incorporated solar power facilities into H2-02, making it the first solar-powered data center in Indonesia.
With a solar-generated electrical capacity of up to 30 MW, it covers a 30-hectare section of the H2 campus. The H2 campus is built on a 86-hectare area and has the potential to expand up to 600 MW.
DCI has been operating its first data center H2-01 since November 2021, with a primary capacity of 15 MW IT load. With the addition of H2-02, the H2 campus now boasts a total capacity of 27 MW IT load across two data centers, along with supporting office facilities.
The H2 campus primarily focuses on scalability and supporting the computing power requirements of hyperscale companies, including global cloud providers. H2 also serves as an alternative hyperscale site to the H1 Data Center Campus located in Cibitung, approximately 20 km away.
Data centers in Indonesia have been making headlines recently with Area31 data center, located in Depok, West Java, becoming the first data center in ASEAN to receive the ISO 22237 certification. According to local reports, EPI, an international independent certification body, has awarded the ANSI/TIA-942-B Rated 3 Facilities Certificate and ISO/IEC 22237 Availability Class 3 & Protection Class 3 certifications to Area31. Area31 was reported to have met the standards in terms of building architecture, telecommunications, electrical, and mechanical aspects to be eligible for such certification.
Indonesia has been among the fastest growing markets in the region for data centers. According to Mordor Intelligence, the data center market in Indonesia is expected to reach USD$3.43 billion by 2027.
