Nxera, the regional data centre arm of Singtel Group, has opened a new data centre in Singapore, which the company said is one of the highest power-density, most energy efficient and multi-tenanted facilities in the country.

Designed to accelerate AI innovation, Nxera’s new data centre – DC Tuas – will deliver 58MW of capacity with a PUE of 1.25. In addition to a large direct-to-chip liquid cooling deployment, the data centre will support powerful GPUs for AI deployment.

This new facility will expand Nxera’s capacity in Singapore to meet accelerating demand for AI, cloud and high-performance computing workloads from businesses and hyperscalers.

“The opening of our new AI ready data centre, DC Tuas, is an important milestone for Nxera as we expand our role in enabling AI innovations in Singapore. The ability to deploy higher-density, compute-intensive AI workloads sustainably, is increasingly critical for a strategic market where data centre capacity is constrained,” said Bill Chang, CEO of Nxera and Singtel’s Digital InfraCo unit.

DC Tuas could also reinforce Singapore’s position as a global AI hub and support accelerating AI adoption – in addition to enhancing Singtel Digital InfraCo’s end-to-end digital infrastructure platform.

“It also demonstrates our expertise in delivering next-generation digital infrastructure and our abilities with Nxera in attracting and developing an exciting and diverse AI ecosystem for Singapore,” Chang added.

Currently, the facility is Singapore’s only hyperconnected data centre integrated with a cable landing station, providing direct access to both international and domestic networks.

With 58MW of AI-ready capacity, DC Tuas will increase Nxera’s total data centre capacity in Singapore to 120MW. More than 90% of its capacity was committed to customers even before the launch, the company said.

The data centre will also support higher rack densities required by next-generation AI workloads, in addition to supporting Singapore’s largest direct-to-chip cooling deployment. This should enable customers to deploy a new generation of AI infrastructure at scale, with its cooling capability reducing energy and water consumption.

Sustainability is critical to DC Tuas and has been awarded the highest Green Mark Platinum standard by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority and Infocom Media Development Authority. Notably, the data centre has incorporated smart thermal features, high-efficiency electrical systems and direct-to-chip cooling to optimise performance in Singapore’s tropical climate.

To further improve environmental performance, the data centre also leverages solar power alongside rainwater harvesting, condensate reuse and blowdown recovery.

Now the data centre is operational, Nxera plans to continue expanding its data centre footprint across Asia. It already has AI-ready capacity coming online in Batam and Johor in the second half of 2026, with the company expecting its operational and pipeline capacity to more than double from 200MW to over 400MW in the middle of 2026.
