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 Range IDC / Equator Gate System Batam AI Data Center has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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 Range IDC project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from Range Intelligent Computing Technology on the equity side. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The money on record is US$5bn as of May 2026, the announced investment. Power comes from PLN Batam through grid supply.

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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 2 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
