The resources behind AI 05 October 2026
AI runs on
power and water.
A server hall is also a claim on the grid and the local water supply. As Indonesia adds AI infrastructure, those demands become part of the investment case.

Start with IT capacity. The model applies the average electrical load, adds facility overhead, then estimates direct consumptive cooling water. Change an assumption and follow the effect.

IT kWh = IT MW × 1,000 × average load factor × 8,760 hours.
Facility kWh = IT kWh × PUE.
Water m³ = IT kWh × consumptive WUE ÷ 1,000.
Annual steady-state operation is assumed. A monthly value is the annual result divided by twelve. Zero cooling WUE excludes sanitary use and water consumed in electricity generation. The low PUE and zero WUE preset is an exploratory combination that requires an engineering design check.
Same capacity. Different operating demands.
Low, base and high expansion assumptions at your selected capacity and prices. These are conditional cases, not probabilities.

From grid supply
to heat rejection.
Power reaches the servers through substations and electrical equipment. Heat leaves through a cooling system. A recirculating coolant loop can still consume water if the final heat rejection uses evaporation.

Reading the evidence
Today's national total
is still a data gap.
Indonesia's published megawatt figures use different boundaries. A market estimate, a grid connection and a future campus plan each answer a different question.
Greater Jakarta, H2 2025
Cushman & Wakefield's dated operational market estimate. It excludes undisclosed capacity elsewhere in Indonesia.
Demand implied by that capacity
The current-fleet base case uses 80% electrical loading and PUE 1.70. Efficient new-build PUE should not be applied to the entire existing fleet.
national use
Electricity and water
The reviewed evidence does not establish a complete Indonesian data-center consumption total or an AI-specific share.
03 Where the demand lands
A national percentage.
A local connection.
Annual national energy shares do not establish capacity at a particular substation or island water system. Select a region to inspect the disclosed projects and their capacity definitions.

Annual facility electricity at the IT capacity assumed in service. Fixed research cases from assumptions.yaml. The calculator does not change this pipeline view.
Power has to reach the site.
Check connection capacity, transformer headroom and delivery timing. Annual national energy does not establish local grid availability.
Water needs a local balance.
Check dry-season allocation, permitted intake, discharge and reuse. A low water bill can still sit beside a difficult supply constraint.
Cooling choices have to work together.
Efficient server cooling does not by itself determine outdoor water use. PUE and WUE need to be tested against the actual heat-rejection design.
