In Kuala Lumpur, it is projected that the maximum electricity demand for data center industry across Malaysia will reach 8,391 Megawatts (MW) by 2030, based on the design plan for power supply at the time.

According to the Ministry of Energy, Transformation and Water Affairs (Petra), of which 4,428MW will be recorded in Johor and 1,481MW in Selangor. "Both states are the primary hubs for data center development and will definitely require infrastructure planning for electricity supply that matches the anticipated load growth," the ministry stated.

In response to Onn Abu Bakar (PH-Batu Pahat), who inquired about the electricity and water usage plan of the data center industry until 2030, particularly in Johor and Selangor, and the number of data centers completed, Petra announced that as of August 2026, a total of 45 data centers have been completed in Malaysia, with a total electricity capacity of 6,041MW.

Meanwhile, the demand for water for data center use until 2030 in Selangor and Johor is estimated to be 389.04 million liters per day (JLH). However, at present, the actual water usage by data centers reported to the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) is only 63.90 JLH. Of the 45 completed data centers, 27 are in Selangor and 18 in Johor, as of June 2026.
