Singtel’s regional data centre subsidiary, Nxera DCT, has secured a S$643 million (USD 476 million), five-year green loan to finance the development of a 58-megawatt data centre in Singapore. The loan is backed by DBS, OCBC, Standard Chartered, HSBC, and UOB.
The funds will support the construction and capital expenditure of DC Tuas, which Singtel describes as the most hyper-connected green data centre in Singapore, with the highest power density in the country. Operations are set to begin in 2026, and the facility has already been awarded the Green Mark Platinum certification by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority and the Infocomm Media Development Authority.
Arthur Lang, Singtel’s group chief financial officer, highlighted the facility’s green design and advanced cooling systems, which will support enterprises requiring high-intensity computing and artificial intelligence workloads.
“This loan enables us to support Singapore’s digital economy while reducing our carbon footprint, in line with our net-zero commitments,” he said.
Nxera aims to achieve Scope 1 and 2 net-zero emissions by 2028 and integrate sustainability into all aspects of its operations.
DC Tuas is designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable digital infrastructure, optimising the use of land, power, and water while providing high-quality services for enterprises.
Singtel emphasised that the new facility will play a crucial role in strengthening Singapore’s digital ecosystem while aligning with the nation’s green building and sustainability goals.
