Singapore's Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Infocomm Media Development Authority are seeking public feedback on a proposed Digital Infrastructure Bill. The consultation says the proposal is intended to strengthen the security and resilience of critical digital services and the environmental sustainability of data-centre operations.
What is proposed
The consultation sets out a proposed licensing framework for operators of essential digital infrastructure. It identifies data-centre facility services with a contracted IT load of at least 10 megawatts for third parties, and cloud services with average Singapore-user revenue of at least S$100 million over the previous three years, as major essential digital infrastructure services.
Which data centres are in scope
The draft also proposes that operators of data centres with a contracted IT load of at least 3 megawatts would need a data-centre licence. The government describes the thresholds as proposed criteria for the consultation, rather than a final set of obligations.
What happens next
The consultation closes on 22 July 2026. Operators, customers and investors following Singapore's digital-infrastructure market now have a clear draft to assess, but should not treat the consultation text as enacted law or final licensing requirements.
