This premium service ensures EDGE DC’s data centers are powered by two distinct sources, equipped with an Automatic Changer Over (ACO) system for seamless power source switching during main supply disruptions.
General Manager PLN UID Jakarta Raya, Doddy B. Pangaribuan, and CEO EDGE DC, Stephanus Oscar, witnessed the signing of the Premium Platinum Service agreement for 40 MVA by PLN UP3 Menteng Manager, Sigit Arimurti, and EDGE DC Director, Den Tossi Ishak.
This agreement boosts PLN’s total supply to EDGE DC to 58 MVA, distributed as follows: Data Center 1 (EDGE 1) at Tendean with 18 MVA supplied by PLN UP3 Bulungan, and Data Center 2 (EDGE 2) at Setiabudi, South Jakarta, with 40 MVA supplied by PLN UP3 Menteng.
Doddy B. Pangaribuan expressed PLN’s delight in supporting EDGE DC’s growth, highlighting EDGE DC’s pioneering role in Jakarta’s data center sector and its commitment to using Renewable Energy.
“We hope to see continued growth in Jakarta’s data center industry, with PLN as the primary choice for electricity supply,” said Doddy B. Pangaribuan.
Stephanus Oscar thanked PLN for its responsive service, emphasizing the confidence that PLN’s Premium Platinum Service for Data Centers brings to EDGE DC’s operations.
