Equinix SG5 is a data center project in Singapore, operated by Equinix. It is operational. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
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 Singapore approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Singapore.
Singapore holds 39 active projects with 874 MW of planned IT load between them, and Equinix SG5 has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 27 are operational, 3 are operational and expanding, 3 are under construction, 1 is past financial close and 5 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Singapore was 4.9% as of December 2025, on 1,043 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Equinix has 6 others in Singapore and 5 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Equinix Jurong Island (DC-CFA2), Equinix SG6 and Equinix SG1. It sits on the Equinix Singapore campus alongside Equinix SG1, Equinix SG2, Equinix SG3 and Equinix SG4. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-02, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
The money on record is US$144m as of August 2021, the announced investment.
Grid power for a large industrial user in Singapore costs about US$0.20 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 Singapore, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 26 April 2022, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.

Checked on 2026-10-02. 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.
