PLN Supplies 2x725 MVA Power to Data Centre, Supporting Digital Ecosystem

State-owned PT PLN (Persero) is providing a 2x725 megavolt ampere (MVA) electricity supply and premium power services to Digital Edge Indonesia’s data centre facility in Cikarang, West Java, as part of an effort to support the national digital ecosystem. PLN Chief Executive Officer Darmawan Prasodjo stated that the growth of the data centre industry reflects the rapid development of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem. He affirmed PLN’s commitment to delivering reliable and sustainable electricity to support this strategic sector, whilst strengthening the country’s position as a digital economic hub in Southeast Asia. The support was announced alongside the topping off ceremony for Digital Edge Indonesia’s CGK1 data centre facility, which is now the data centre with the largest power capacity in the country. Darmawan described the strategic collaboration as an important step in reinforcing the foundation of national digital infrastructure. Digital Edge Indonesia CEO Stephanus Oscar noted that a reliable electricity supply is the primary factor in developing large-scale data centre industries. He said the topping off of CGK1, backed by the largest electricity supply agreement in Indonesia’s data centre history, reflects confidence in the nation’s long-term digital growth. Oscar added that the campus is designed not only to meet current digital infrastructure needs but also to strengthen Indonesia’s competitiveness in facing future AI-based technological developments, laying the foundation for the country to compete at the highest level of the global AI economy. Previously, the two parties signed a power purchase agreement (PJBTL) in October 2025 for a supply of 2x650 MVA. With the expansion plans, the supply has been increased to 2x725 MVA to meet operational needs and ensure uninterrupted 24-hour service gradually until 2030, making Digital Edge Indonesia the holder of PLN’s largest PJBTL. According to Digital Edge, the CGK Campus, built with a total investment of US$4.5 billion, is specifically designed for AI workloads and data-intensive computing with energy-efficient infrastructure. The facility targets an industry-leading annualised Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.25, aims for LEED certification, and integrates water recycling and renewable energy systems, alongside liquid cooling technology to support AI workloads.
