Nxera DC Tuas is a data center project in Singapore, operated by Nxera (Singtel). It is operational. It is planned for 58 MW of IT load. The operator reports 58 MW running.
Latest change on record: moved to operational on 9 February 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 21 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 Nxera DC Tuas ranks 4th by planned capacity. 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.
Nxera (Singtel) has 2 others in Singapore tracked by ArusGrid, including Nxera DC West and Nxera Kim Chuan 2. Named funding comes from Singtel and KKR on the equity side. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The dated record runs from under construction on 8 August 2023 to operational on 9 February 2026. The money on record is S$643m (about US$476m) as of February 2025, debt raised, which ArusGrid keeps out of capital totals. Power comes from Nxera through onsite solar. Cooling uses direct liquid cooling, with a design PUE of 1.25.
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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 10 February 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
SG's largest direct-to-chip liquid cooling deployment
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.

More than 90% of 58MW committed before launch · as of 2026-02-09
DCD and The Edge (via Yahoo) both carry Singtel's opening statement that over 90% of DC Tuas capacity was committed before launch; no customer is named and tenant type is not stated, so the hyperscaler label is ArusGrid's reading rather than the source's wording.

This is the size of a loan. ArusGrid excludes it from capital spending totals.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
ArusGrid estimate, grade C. Published band for this country. Priced on the hyperscale band, which already reflects anchor deals. No usable capex for this site. Electricity excluded in the band. An estimate, never a quote, computed by fixed rules published on the Colo prices page and never counted in any total.
