Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Indonesia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Indonesia.

Where it sits

Other Indonesia holds 3 active projects with 200 MW of planned IT load between them, and Zankore AI Factory, Batang ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Other Indonesia, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only Zankore project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Zankore AI Factory campus. Named funding comes from Ooredoo Group on the equity side and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 7 August 2026. Power comes from PT PLN (Persero) UID Jawa Tengah through grid supply (reported, unconfirmed).

Grid power for a large industrial user in Indonesia costs about US$0.062 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Indonesia, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 10 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
