Jakarta, Indonesia – Equinix is expanding its JK1 data centre in Jakarta, bringing its total investment in the facility to US$94 million as demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and interconnected digital infrastructure grows in Indonesia.
Announced on 10 November 2026, the latest expansion will add approximately 1,125 cabinets and introduce AI-ready capabilities, including liquid cooling technology, to support high-density computing workloads.
The investment comes as Indonesia’s digital economy continues to expand, with projections estimating it could reach between US$220 billion and US$360 billion by 2030. The growing adoption of AI, cloud services and data-intensive applications is increasing demand for secure, connected and energy-efficient infrastructure.
“Indonesia’s economy is moving into a new phase, driven by cloud adoption, AI innovation and the growing need for trusted digital infrastructure,” said Nezar Patria, Vice Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.
“Investments that expand secure, interconnected and energy-efficient data centre capacity are key to strengthening the country’s digital ecosystem, supporting business competitiveness and enabling Indonesia to participate more fully in the regional and global digital economy. We welcome Equinix’s continued commitment to Indonesia and its contribution to building the infrastructure foundation needed for long-term digital growth,” Patria continued.
Since JK1 opened in May 2025, Equinix has tripled its capacity in Indonesia. The facility now connects more than 70 internet service providers and 60 network providers, alongside global cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud.
Through its interconnection services, including Equinix Fabric, customers can establish private connections to cloud providers, networks and other ecosystem partners. These capabilities are designed to support hybrid and multi-cloud environments, as well as AI infrastructure deployments.
Connected capacity on Equinix Internet Exchange at JK1 grew by 46% quarter-on-quarter, indicating increased demand for local interconnection as organisations expand their cloud adoption and AI workloads.
“Indonesia is entering a pivotal phase in its digital transformation journey. As businesses increasingly adopt cloud and AI technologies, the need for highly connected, secure, and sustainable digital infrastructure has never been greater,” said Haris Izmee, Managing Director, Indonesia, at Equinix.
“Our investment in JK1 reflects Equinix’s long-term commitment to helping customers build and scale the digital foundations required to support Indonesia’s future economy while connecting them to global opportunities,” Izmee continued.
Equinix said the expanded facility will use liquid cooling and heat management technologies to support high-density AI workloads. Its operations are also guided by the company’s sustainability strategy, which focuses on infrastructure development, social progress and responsible business practices.
The company added that JK1 has 100% renewable energy coverage through renewable energy certificates and other applicable energy attribute instruments. This arrangement is intended to support customers’ environmental reporting and sustainability objectives.
