AirTrunk secures $2.25b green loan for new SGP2 data centre

The new facility will be built in Loyang.

Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) data centre operator AirTrunk has secured a $2.25b green loan in Singapore to build a new AirTrunk SGP2 data centre.

The deal marks Singapore’s largest-ever loan and green loan for a data centre.

The financing is structured as a green loan, with the option to convert it into a sustainability-linked loan (SLL).

Proceeds from financial incentives tied to the loan will go into AirTrunk’s social impact fund.

The new facility will be built in Loyang, offering over 70 megawatts of capacity to support cloud and AI workloads across Singapore and Southeast Asia.

AirTrunk says the data centre is being designed to meet the BCA Green Mark Platinum rating and operate with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.20, one of the lowest levels in Singapore.

To cut its carbon footprint, the project will also feature green concrete and green steel.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
