Slated to begin this year, STDCT 2.0 will scale up from an original testbed launched in November 2023 into a multi-megawatt pilot facility on Jurong Island, within a 20-hectare zone earmarked for Singapore's largest low-carbon data centre park.
Schneider Electric Singapore is partnering with the National University of Singapore's (NUS) College of Design and Engineering (CDE) to develop and test data centre technologies suited to Singapore's tightening sustainability requirements.
The energy technology company has signed on as the first anchor sponsor of the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed Phase 2.0 (STDCT 2.0), a second-phase expansion of the university's tropical data centre testbed. It is also the first organisation to formalise a partnership under the programme.
