Power constraints keep Singapore's data centre vacancy rate at 1%

The country only has 7.2 MW of available capacity.

Singapore is the most power-constrained data centre market, with 7.2 MW of available capacity and a near record-low 1% vacancy rate.

CBRE indicated that the 80-MW supply from the Data Center-Call for Application (DC-CFA) and 58 MW from the Singtel Tuas DC will temporarily relieve Singapore's supply scarcity.

"As new capacity development extends to neighbouring markets like Johor and Batam, Singapore will remain the regional interconnection hub. Data centre operators will shift focus from size to technology and sustainability, driven by the AI demand boom requiring higher rack density specifications and advanced cooling technology," CBRE reported.

Apart from being the most power-constrained, Singapore also has the highest rental rates at US$315 to US$480 per month for a 250- to 500-kW requirement With nearby countries having cheaper land, development costs, taxes and utility, CBRE said Singapore must form part of multi-market strategy to sustain its regional leadership.
