LG to supply cooling to $300m Jakarta data centre
25th August 2025
INDONESIA: South Korean manufacturer LG has been named as the cooling solutions provider for a US$300m AI data centre currently under construction in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Upon completion, the facility is set to become one of the largest of its kind in Indonesia, with its initial IT load capacity of 18MW being upgradable to 60MW.
The data centre in Jakarta’s central business district is being developed by LG Sinar Mas Technology Solutions, a joint collaboration between LG CNS and SM+, Indonesia’s premier digital infrastructure provider.
This landmark project brings together the capabilities of several LG Group affiliates – including LG Electronics – to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects.
As part of the project, LG will supply a comprehensive package of advanced cooling technologies, including chillers and room cooling systems such as computer room air handlers, air handling units, computer room air conditioners and fan wall units. A customised BMS will also be implemented to ensure seamless integration and control.
A key piece of LG’s integrated package is the water-cooled oil-free centrifugal chiller, using the HFO refrigerant R1233zd. Featuring LeviTech magnetic bearing technology, the chiller is also equipped with a machine learning-based surge protection system that enables quick recovery and stable operation during unexpected power outages.
The data centre will support nearly 2,400 racks across nine data halls. It is scheduled to begin operations in the second half of 2026.
