6 TWhdata-centre electricity · 10.0% of national generation · grade B, Derived

Singapore's data centres draw 6 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 8th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.

That is 10.0% of everything the country generates — well above the 1.2% median across those countries.

Set against 0.9 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 76% load factor.

One metro is tracked here: Singapore, at 650 MW and operating.

Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Memory & Storage on the physical basis, at #6 of 7.

It does not register at all on Networking.

Its single strongest grip on the buildout is Advanced packaging, where firms domiciled here hold 5% of global supply in a sub-layer weighted 0.92 for how hard it is to substitute.

About $5.5bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Singapore, though announced is not built — that figure is graded A.

Where Singapore ranks

The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.

Supply positions

Share of each global sub-layer held by firms domiciled here, and how hard that sub-layer would be to substitute. Those two multiplied are what the control basis ranks on.
