Equinix opens SG6, its sixth Singapore data centre, with 8 MW and liquid cooling

Equinix said on 6 November 2026 that it has opened SG6 in Singapore, the sixth of its International Business Exchange data centres in the city-state. The company says the site is meant for AI, high-performance computing and other data-heavy work, and that it is one of the earliest built under Singapore's Data Centre Call for Application framework.

According to Equinix, the first phase brings 8 MW, or roughly 1,550 cabinets, and SG6 will reach as much as 20 MW of IT load once fully built.

For dense AI hardware, the company says SG6 combines its own proprietary cooling systems with liquid cooling suited to power-hungry GPU equipment. Equinix says the building is designed for a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.20.

In 2027 Equinix intends to set up a co-innovation facility at SG6 together with the National University of Singapore, to develop liquid cooling, battery energy storage and cognitive digital twins for data centres.

Equinix says it entered Singapore in 2002 with a single data centre and now runs six there, linked to over 17 subsea cables. Adaire Fox-Martin, Equinix's chief executive and president, said Singapore ranks among the company's most important markets worldwide.
