Frequently Asked Questions
Jakarta benefits from Indonesia's 280M+ population (4th largest globally), rapidly growing digital economy valued at $82B+, government push for digital sovereignty through data localization regulations (GR 71/2019), and the lowest power costs in Southeast Asia. Hyperscalers including AWS, Google, and Azure have all established regions in or near Jakarta.
PLN (state utility) grid reliability in the Greater Jakarta area averages 99.9% but experiences voltage fluctuations and occasional outages. Most data centers deploy 2N UPS configurations and N+1 diesel generator arrays with 48-72 hour fuel autonomy. Some facilities use dual utility feeds from separate substations for additional redundancy.
Government Regulation 71/2019 requires public electronic systems to store certain data within Indonesian territory. This has driven significant demand from international companies needing in-country infrastructure, particularly in financial services, e-commerce, and government sectors, accelerating data center construction in the Jakarta metropolitan area.
