Indonesia plans to build hyperscale green data centers powered by solar energy and battery storage, tapping into its rich natural resources and expanding digital economy. These data centers, which require significant energy year-round, will create substantial demand for solar panels and batteries, encouraging domestic manufacturing.

With Indonesia being a major nickel producer, this initiative could strengthen the local battery industry and reduce import reliance. The development promises economic benefits through job creation in construction, maintenance, and manufacturing sectors while enhancing the country’s technological capabilities.

The project aims to attract investments by showcasing a sustainable growth model that integrates digital and clean energy sectors. As neighboring countries advance in this area, Indonesia must implement cohesive policies to capitalize on its resources and ensure competitive advantage.
