Equinix has announced a second expansion phase at its JK1 data centre in Jakarta, bringing its total investment there to US$94 million, or about Rp1.71 trillion. The company said the additional capacity is designed to accommodate demand for AI, cloud computing and data services.
The expansion will provide approximately 1,125 additional cabinets and support liquid cooling for high-density AI workloads. Equinix said the cooling technology manages heat more efficiently than traditional methods.
According to Equinix, JK1's capacity has tripled since the facility opened in May 2025. It connects more than 70 internet service providers and 60 network providers, with links to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud.
The company also reported that connected capacity at the Equinix Internet Exchange within JK1 rose 46 per cent quarter on quarter. Customers can use services including Equinix Fabric to establish private connections between AI infrastructure, cloud providers and networks.
Equinix said JK1 had achieved 100 per cent renewable energy coverage through renewable energy certificates and other energy attribute instruments. Its Indonesia managing director, Haris Izmee, said wider adoption of cloud computing and AI was increasing demand for secure, connected and sustainable digital infrastructure.
