A partnership to secure energy for growth
The MoU was signed in Bandung on Aug 11 by NeutraDC Group President Director Rakhmad Tunggal Afifuddin, PT PLN (Persero) UID West Java General Manager Muhammad Joharifin and PT PLN Electricity Services President Director Susiana Mutia. The signing was witnessed by the director for retail and commerce at PLN. Several other companies involved in electricity procurement in Cikarang also signed agreements on the same occasion.
NeutraDC is described by the company as an operating company of Telkom and part of the Danantara Indonesia ecosystem, Indonesia’s sovereign wealth management body. Through the agreement, the data center firm aims to make sure its capacity growth is backed by reliable, scalable and resilient energy infrastructure.
What the capacity increase means
The expansion will bring NeutraDC’s data center capacity up to 200 MW, strengthening Indonesia’s readiness to provide large-scale digital infrastructure against a backdrop of rising artificial intelligence, cloud computing and data-driven service use. Afifuddin said demand for digital infrastructure keeps growing as AI and cloud services spread, which pushes the need for data centers that offer both large capacity and reliable, scalable service delivery.
He added that large-scale digital infrastructure development depends on cross-sector collaboration, noting that a data center cannot operate on its own because it needs support from energy, connectivity, technology and a strong industrial ecosystem.
Positioning as a digital ecosystem hub
The company positions itself as a Digital Ecosystem Hub and says the portfolio spans colocation, GPU and AI compute, data center interconnection, cross-connect and internet services. It serves enterprise and hyperscale customers as a provider of digital infrastructure and ecosystem services.
The public utility cooperation is one concrete step toward realizing the data center expansion while reinforcing NeutraDC’s position, the company said, and it also supports Indonesia’s opportunity to take part in the growth of the digital economy and AI ecosystem in the region.
