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 West ranks 10th 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 Tuas and Nxera Kim Chuan 2. Named funding comes from Singtel on the equity side. The named user of the compute is Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) (reported, unconfirmed).
The stage was recorded as operational in November 2016.
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 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.
