Google has announced plans to build a data hub on Christmas Island, strategically located 350 km south of Indonesia. The project includes a subsea cable system connecting to the Maldives and Oman, enhancing internet infrastructure resilience. Nicholas Gan, CEO of Phosphate Resources, confirmed that local power supply can accommodate Google's needs without impacting residents. This initiative could accelerate the island's shift toward renewable energy, addressing concerns about reliance on diesel imports for power.
