Racks Central Batam (RCBI) is a data center project in Batam, Indonesia, operated by Racks Central. It is at the land and permitting stage. It is planned for 95 MW of IT load.
Latest change on record: entered the record as land and permitting on 31 March 2025.
Next gate to watch: Power arranged.
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 Indonesia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Indonesia.
One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. On record: three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.
Operator markets it as a 95MW liquid-ready greenfield for high-density AI/HPC and cloud workloads. Stated AI purpose + ≥100MW-class greenfield, but no tenant, no dated cooling spec, and no construction start.
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.
Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
No figure has been announced. This range is 95 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$11.21 per watt for Jakarta, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.
