Next gate to watch: Power arranged.

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

Batam and Bintan holds 12 active projects with 835 MW of planned IT load between them, and BW Digital NDP1 ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational, 4 are under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Batam and Bintan, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only BW Digital project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Nongsa Digital Park alongside DayOne Nongsa Digital Park Campus (NDP1-3), Golden Digital Gateway (Nongsa One), Princeton Digital Group BT1 and Pusat Data Nasional 2 (National Data Center Batam). Named funding comes from BW Group on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as under construction on 12 February 2026. Power comes from not named (reported, unconfirmed). Cooling uses evaporative cooling.

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 9 public sources for this project, the latest dated 5 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.

Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.

AI workloads

StatusConfirmed

Operator states NDP1 is built to Nvidia AI-factory guidelines and supports up to 140kW racks with direct liquid cooling (direct-to-chip or immersion); 20-40kW air-cooled baseline; 7m slab-to-slab, 20kN/m2 floor loading.

Access to AI chips

GradeNo US licence required

This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

Money at this site

ArusGrid estimate, building costabout US$1.1bn to US$1.7bn

No figure has been announced. This range is 120 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$11.21 per watt for Jakarta, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.

Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Indonesia, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
