Singapore-based data center provider, Princeton Digital Group (PDG), today broke ground on its 120 MW AI-ready hyperscale data center campus in Greenland International Industrial Center (GIIC), Bekasi Regency, Greater Jakarta. Built with an investment of USD 1 billion, the JC3 campus is purpose-built for hyperscale and AI workloads, incorporating modular construction and advanced direct-to-chip cooling. The project’s first phase is expected to be ready-for-service by Q4 2026, according to the company’s press release.

Located 25 km from PDG’s JC2 campus in Cibitung, JC3 will feature dual-grid power feeds from PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN Persero), with full power capacity already contracted. The carrier-neutral facility will offer multiple fiber routes to Jakarta’s core network ecosystem and key internet exchanges, enabling seamless connections. It will use renewable energy sources similar to JC2, which is Indonesia’s first data center powered by biomass.

“Indoesia is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in Asia Pacific, and we remain deeply committed to supporting its continued growth,” said Varoon Raghavan, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of PDG. “Backed by a proven track record of delivery excellence across the region, our JC3 campus is purpose-built to provide the scale, performance, and sustainability our global and local customers require as cloud and AI workloads accelerate.”

JC3 is one of Indonesia’s largest and most advanced data centers, and will add to PDG’s total capacity in Indonesia reaching 230 MW.
