Geothermal Infrastructure That No Other Island Offers.
Mentawai Bay's subsea geothermal cable will deliver clean, continuous, predictably priced power - the fundamental requirement for competitive data centre operations. Combined with rooftop solar across the SEZ, the island will offer 100% renewable power at a cost structure that conventional grids cannot match. Waste heat will be integrated into island utility systems, not vented.
An Independent Jurisdiction With Its Own Data Framework.
The Mentawai Bay SEZ data sovereignty framework will establish clear rules on data residency, access, and jurisdiction - governed independently of Indonesian national frameworks where the SEZ charter permits. For regional operators requiring data localisation outside Singapore's jurisdiction, and outside Indonesia's national infrastructure, Mentawai Bay will offer a credible, independently governed alternative.
Sustainability Built Into Every Rack.
Torqua - the SEZ's sustainability reserve mechanism - will apply to data centre operations as to every other revenue-generating entity within Mentawai Bay. Carbon intensity per compute unit will be measured, reported, and offset through the blue carbon and conservation credit infrastructure already embedded in the programme. The greenest data centre in the region will not be a marketing claim. It will be a measurement.
