Keppel Data Centre Singapore 7 (KDC SGP 7), located at Genting Lane in Singapore, has achieved the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award, based on the Green Mark for New Data Centres. This is the highest green accolade conferred by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) specifically for new data centre developments. The BCA Green Mark awards recognise developers, building owners and individuals who have made outstanding achievements in environmental sustainability in the built environment.

Sustainability has been a key guiding principle in the design of KDC SGP 7, which incorporates green features such as energy-efficient equipment and advanced technologies to improve performance of the chiller plant and data hall cooling systems, as well as reduce water consumption.

Keppel Data Centres Holdings Pte. Ltd. (Keppel Data Centres) and Cuscaden Peak Investments Private Limited (Cuscaden Peak Investments) through their respective subsidiaries have a 60:40 stake in a joint venture, Memphis 1 Pte. Ltd. (Memphis 1), which owns the industrial site, 82 Genting Lane, where KDC SGP 7 is situated. Development of the data centre is funded by way of debt securities that have been issued by Memphis 1 to Alpha Data Centre Fund (ADCF)^[1], Keppel Data Centres and Cuscaden Peak Investments.

Being built to Tier III specifications, KDC SGP 7 will have a gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 185,462 sq ft (17,230 sqm). Keppel Data Centres is currently developing the seven-storey data centre and will serve as its operator and facility manager when the property is completed and operational in the second quarter of 2023.

Mr Wong Wai Meng, CEO of Keppel Data Centres, said, “As an industry leader in data centres, Keppel has been focused on developing innovative solutions for greener data centres, harnessing technology, as well as working with customers and industry partners to reduce the carbon footprint of our assets. We are honoured to receive the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award, which is testament to Keppel’s commitment to deliver high-quality, robust digital infrastructure while balancing environmental considerations.”

Mr Alvin Mah, CEO of Alpha, said, “We are delighted KDC SGP 7 was conferred the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award, which is an affirmation of our Vision 2030 commitment to place sustainability at the core of our strategy and continuous effort to deliver value for our investors. As demand for data centres continue to accelerate, Alpha is able to leverage the expertise of the Keppel Group and industry partners to connect investors with quality investment opportunities in the fast-growing green data centre sector.”
