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.

How well evidenced is it

Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. On record: named funder, disclosed client (reported), committed or approved capital, dated, sized phase, three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.

AI workloads

StatusConfirmed

SG's largest direct-to-chip liquid cooling deployment

Access to AI chips

GradeNo US licence required

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.

More than 90% of 58MW committed before launch · as of 2026-02-09

DCD and The Edge (via Yahoo) both carry Singtel's opening statement that over 90% of DC Tuas capacity was committed before launch; no customer is named and tenant type is not stated, so the hyperscaler label is ArusGrid's reading rather than the source's wording.
