Overview
- Senior Minister Tan Kiat How said the Digital Infrastructure Act will be tabled later this year to mandate energy‑efficiency, cybersecurity and incident‑reporting standards for data centres and major cloud providers.
- The legislation will apply to both existing and future facilities, with operators given time to comply as they retrofit or refresh equipment.
- Singtel and Nvidia launched a Centre of Excellence in the Punggol Digital District that will provide a micro‑grid for AI pilots by June, enabling banks, hospitals and government agencies to keep sensitive data within Singapore.
- Nvidia will furnish the full AI software stack, including Nemotron large language models and orchestration tools, and give users access to its ecosystem of tens of thousands of AI start‑ups.
- The centre will validate liquid‑cooled designs targeting 600 kW to 1 MW per rack and prepare for higher‑density, more efficient compute in a market already exceeding 1.4 GW across 70‑plus data centres.
