Data centre investments in Malaysia expected to accelerate

Quick Summary:

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia remains an attractive proposition for global data centre (DC) hyperscalers, based on the projected pipeline of new DC projects totaling 1,313 megawatt (MW).

Meanwhile, the Stargate Project, led by OpenAI and Japan’s SoftBank, will invest US$500bil over the next four years to develop new AI infrastructure in the US.

In terms of downstream players, Econpile Holdings Bhd could be a strong contender for more DC-related substructures that utilise contiguous bored piles for a stronger foundation.
