Singapore has picked four data-centre plans for a total of 200MW of power in its second Data Centre Call for Application (DC-CFA2). This helps improve the country’s digital infrastructure and meet the rising need for data-centre services.
The selection was announced by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the Economic Development Board (EDB), following an evaluation of proposals submitted under the second call.

The new allocation comes after Singapore opened its second Data Centre Call for Applications in December 2025. EDB and IMDA asked for applications for at least 200MW of new data-centre capacity. More capacity could be added based on the quality of the proposals. This call aimed to help Singapore’s data-centre sector grow sustainably and to promote development that is efficient and eco-friendly.
The second call built on Singapore’s past work to handle the growth of data-centre capacity based on the country’s limited resources. It looked for ideas that could help the digital economy while also being efficient, sustainable, and using resources responsibly.
Four Proposals Selected
The four chosen plans will give the total 200MW of data center energy available under DC-CFA2. This choice shows Singapore’s ongoing work to grow its digital systems while keeping energy use low and focusing on sustainable growth.
Proposals were judged on how they help Singapore’s digital economy, save energy, and perform sustainably. They also looked at the benefits for the larger data center community.
The chosen projects will increase Singapore’s data centre space and help meet the needs of digital services and tech-heavy tasks.
Supporting Digital Infrastructure
Data centres are increasingly important to Singapore’s digital economy, providing the infrastructure required for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital services and other data-intensive technologies.
The new allocation is due to the rising need for computing and data systems. Singapore wants to boost its capacity through a planned process. This will help manage energy use and other resources while supporting growth.
The government is focusing more on making new data centers more efficient and sustainable. For DC-CFA2, applicants had to show they could create efficient facilities and help Singapore’s larger digital environment.
Advancing Singapore’s Data Centre Capacity
The four proposals will now proceed through the next stages of development and relevant regulatory processes. Once implemented, the projects will increase Singapore’s available data-centre capacity and provide additional infrastructure for businesses and technology providers.
The allocation also forms part of Singapore’s broader efforts to maintain its position as a trusted and sustainable digital infrastructure hub. The government has sought to balance the needs of a growing digital economy with considerations around energy efficiency and sustainability.
The 200MW allocation is a big step in Singapore’s development of its data-centre setup. It gives more power to help the growth of cloud services, AI, and other digital technologies. It also shows how important it is to develop sustainable infrastructure as the need for computing resources rises.
