RestrictedSingaporeSingapore · Southeast Asia Hub
The most important data center hub in Asia-Pacific and a critical node for undersea cable connectivity. Singapore imposed a moratorium on new data centers from 2019-2022 due to sustainability concerns, then selectively reopened with strict energy efficiency and renewable requirements. In a tropical climate with zero domestic fossil fuel or renewable resources, every watt is imported. The government now requires new DCs to achieve PUE below 1.3 and source green energy.

Grid challenges
5 infrastructure constraints identified
- 2019-2022 moratorium on new DC construction
- 95% natural gas dependency (zero domestic resources)
- Tropical climate means maximum cooling load year-round
- Water scarcity — NEWater and desalination only
- New DCs must achieve PUE < 1.3 and source green energy
