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.

Where it sits

Singapore holds 39 active projects with 874 MW of planned IT load between them, and Microsoft Singapore (Woodlands campus) 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.

Microsoft has 13 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Microsoft JKT09 / JKT02 (KIIC Karawang campus), Microsoft Indonesia Central data center (Jawa Barat) and Microsoft Hyderabad Chandanvelly campus (HYD11). It sits on the Microsoft Woodlands campus. The named user of the compute is Microsoft (own use / Azure Southeast Asia) (confirmed).

The build is phased. Woodlands 1 is operational; Woodlands 2 is operational; DC-CFA award (~20MW, site undisclosed) at 20 MW is announced. Power comes from EDP Renewables (SolarNova 8) through a renewable power purchase agreement (reported, unconfirmed). Cooling uses reclaimed water from Reused water (NEWater implied, not named).

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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 2 April 2026, and last checked the record on 20 October 2026.

DC-CFA 2023 awardee for new Singapore capacity (share of ~80MW not disclosed) · as of 2023-07-14

IMDA's regulator release names Microsoft as one of four DC-CFA awardees with a proposal anchoring AI and HPC compute in Singapore. IMDA does not name the site; Woodlands is Microsoft's existing Singapore campus and ArusGrid's row, so the building link is ArusGrid's rather than IMDA's.
