By Romel S. Gurky

Princeton Digital Group (PDG) announced on Thursday that it has acquired a new site in Greater Jakarta to develop a hyperscale data center campus with a planned capacity of 240 megawatts, marking a further expansion of its presence in Indonesia.

The new campus, known as JC4, is located in the Greenland International Industrial Center in Bekasi Regency, about 1.7 kilometers from PDG’s existing JC3 facility. The proximity is expected to enable shared power and connectivity infrastructure between the two sites.

Spanning more than 106,000 square meters, the JC4 development will consist of four data center buildings, each with a capacity of 60 megawatts. Construction of the campus has already begun.

With the addition of JC4, PDG’s total capacity in Indonesia will reach 400 megawatts, as the company continues to expand in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest growing digital infrastructure markets.

The facility is designed to support high density computing and advanced cooling systems. The company said it is also implementing operational measures such as on site solar deployments and refrigerant management to reduce environmental impact.

PDG Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co Founder Rangu Salgame said the expansion reflects continued demand from hyperscale customers and the company’s focus on supporting cloud and artificial intelligence workloads in the region.

Frederic Daniel van Husen, General Manager for Indonesia at PDG, said the project underscores the company’s long term commitment to the country and its role in supporting digital growth.

PDG develops and operates data centers across seven Asian markets, with a total portfolio exceeding 1.8 gigawatts.
