Kampus pusat data berskala besar bakal dibangunkan di Sedenak

A gigawatt-scale data campus is set to be built in Sedenak Tech Park (STeP) West, Johor, according to a report. This new campus, in partnership with YTL Power International Bhd and JLand Group, will potentially cover an area of approximately 545 acres. YTL Power International Bhd's subsidiary, JLG Technopark Sdn Bhd, and SIPP Power Sdn Bhd will be involved in this venture. SIPP Power is expected to acquire around 145 acres of land, with the potential to acquire up to 400 acres more for future development.

The new data campus in Sedenak will complement the YTL Green Data Center Park in Kulai, which is designed to have a capacity of up to 1.2GW. This will cater to the demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital services. Akmal Ahmad, the Head of JLand Group Affairs, stated that the arrival of YTL Power in the Ibrahim Technopolis (IBTEC) ecosystem will bring significant digital infrastructure investment and strengthen the energy, utility, and technology sectors.

Yeoh Seok Hong, the Head of YTL Power International Bhd, added that the Sedenak campus represents a significant development for his company's digital infrastructure platform in Johor and the region. "Together with our campus under development in Kulai, Sedenak will continue to strengthen Johor's position as a leading hub for AI, cloud computing, and digital innovation," he said. The project is expected to create skilled jobs in construction, engineering, technology, and data center operations.
