What does the JLL H2 2025 Asia Pacific Data Centre Report cover?

The report covers leasing dynamics, capital markets trends and the supply pipeline across Asia Pacific's colocation and hyperscale data centre markets. It tracks vacancy rates, absorption, rental trends, electricity pricing and investment volumes for key markets including Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, Singapore and emerging hubs like Johor Bahru.

How much investment does Asia Pacific need for data centre growth?

JLL estimates US$772 billion in total capital investment under a high growth scenario to add 24 GW of capacity between 2025 and 2030, including US$286 billion for real estate development and up to US$486 billion for GPU and networking infrastructure fit-out.

Why are Australian data centre electricity costs a competitive issue?

Sydney's colocation electricity rate of 15.0 US cents/kWh is the second highest in APAC, behind Singapore. Combined with grid connection delays exceeding eight years in core markets, power availability and cost are becoming the primary constraints on Australia's ability to capture AI workload demand. The NSW Government's consultation paper directly addresses energy and planning frameworks to mitigate these constraints.
