Indonesian data center firm DCI has secured an IDR 17 trillion ($980.9 million) credit facility to fund its data center expansion in Indonesia.

According to an exchange filing submitted by the company to the Indonesia Financial Services Authority, the facility will be used to finance the company’s capital expenditure requirements in connection with the construction and completion of data center facilities, as well as the fulfillment of customer demand for contracted capacity.

DCI has provided its assets, including land parcels, buildings, existing and future data center machinery and equipment, its current account, and claims under its insurance policies as collateral.

Founded in 2011 DCI is currently Indonesia’s largest data center operator, with a claimed total potential power capacity of 1GW.

Eastern Indonesia expansion, E2 Surabaya

In April, DCI’s newest data center facility, E2 Surabaya, went live.

DCI said the new facility, which is located in Eastern Indonesia, was a “deliberate move to be present early in a region whose digital ecosystem is growing fast, and be the infrastructure that grows with it.”

E2 Surabaya will provide 9MW of capacity, earmarked for AI, mission-critical enterprise applications, and edge cloud and content deployments. The company said it would provide “geographic redundancy” against Jakarta for businesses that “need resilience across their operations.”

“Built from greenfield-to-operational in under 12 months, involving over than one million safe man-hours, leveraging local workforce and industries across East Java – E2 has generated opportunities for employment, local talent development, and is creating a lasting multiplier effect for the regional economy,” the company said.

Founder and CEO Toto Sugiri said: "This step is part of the company's strategy to expand the presence of global-standard data center infrastructure beyond Jakarta. We believe this will drive a more equitable distribution of national data center capacity. As the digital ecosystem in eastern Indonesia continues to develop, we see the importance of being present early – delivering capacity and service quality as a foundation to support that growth going forward."
