Equinix opens SG6, its sixth Singapore data center

Equinix has opened SG6, its sixth data center in Singapore, a nine-story facility in Jalan Tukang built for an initial $290 million under the government's capacity allocation process, with about 1,550 cabinets in its first phase and up to 20MW of IT capacity at full build-out.

Why it matters: SG6 is the first major new Singapore capacity to open as the city-state's data center moratorium, in place since 2019, starts to relax, and it lands ahead of schedule for one of the four operators granted further 50MW allocations in this year's second allocation round.

Equinix has opened SG6, its sixth International Business Exchange data center in Singapore, announcing the launch over the weekend. The nine-story facility in Jalan Tukang will provide approximately 1,550 cabinets in its first phase and up to 20MW of IT capacity at full build-out, for an initial investment of $290 million; the company broke ground in November 2024 and had originally expected to launch in the first quarter of 2027.

SG6 was built under the Singapore government’s Data Centre Call for Application process, which has rationed new capacity since the 2019 moratorium on new developments. Equinix was one of four operators allocated 80MW collectively in 2023, and one of four, with Digital Realty, Keppel Data Centers and ST Telemedia Global Data Centers, granted 50MW each in a second allocation round earlier this year. The facility is designed for a power usage effectiveness of 1.20 and targets BCA-IMDA Green Mark Platinum certification, and it will host a co-innovation facility with the National University of Singapore Energy Solutions Hub, targeted to open in 2027.
