Next gate to watch: Land secured.
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.
Batam and Bintan holds 12 active projects with 835 MW of planned IT load between them, and Racks Central Batam (RCBI) ranks 4th 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.
Racks Central has 1 project elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Racks Central Johor Campus. It sits on the Nongsa Digital Park alongside BW Digital NDP1, DayOne Nongsa Digital Park Campus (NDP1-3), Golden Digital Gateway (Nongsa One) and Princeton Digital Group BT1. 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.
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 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 21 August 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Operator markets it as a 95MW liquid-ready greenfield for high-density AI/HPC and cloud workloads. Stated AI purpose + ≥100MW-class greenfield, but no tenant, no dated cooling spec, and no construction start.
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.

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.
No figure has been announced. This range is 95 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.
No colocation price applies to this product (retail interconnection, no colocation price applies).
