## Why it matters

For the first time, DIB brought data centres of ≥10MW capacity and cloud services into licensing regulation, proving Singapore's AI governance pathway manages infrastructure rather than models, with energy efficiency thresholds shifting from voluntary to mandatory

## Summary

Licensing for data centres and cloud services — the first time Singapore brings the AI compute layer under hard-law regulation. Data centres with ≥10MW critical IT load and IaaS/PaaS cloud services earning ≥S$100m/year in Singapore must obtain a "major FDI licence"; data centres ≥3MW must hold a "DC licence" and meet mandatory power usage effectiveness (PUE) requirements. Consultation ran 1–22 July 2026.
