Nvidia-backed Firmus will build a 360MW AI data centre in Indonesia and expects $30 billion in offtake deals
Australian AI infrastructure firm Firmus will build a 360MW Nvidia DSX campus in Batam, Indonesia, with access to 170,000 Nvidia chips through 2028. The project is expected to generate up to $30 billion in offtake deals over six years.
The Atomic take
Batam's appeal here is geographic: it sits roughly 20km from Singapore, whose own data centre buildout has been throttled by power and land limits, making nearby Indonesian capacity a workaround for serving that market. The $30 billion in projected offtake is the part to scrutinize, since pre-committed demand is what justifies securing 170,000 Nvidia chips through 2028 rather than building speculatively. Watch how Firmus sources power for 360MW in Batam, as the cost and carbon profile of that supply will determine whether the campus actually undercuts Singapore on the economics that drove customers across the strait in the first place.
