KUALA LUMPUR: YTL Power International Bhd
and JLand Group have announced a strategic partnership to undertake a joint development at Sede- nak Tech Park West in Johor, which will include a new gigawatt-scale data centre campus.
The strategic partnership involves JLand Group, through its subsidiary JLG Technopark Sdn Bhd, and YTL Power International, through its subsidiary SIPP Power Sdn Bhd.
“As part of the arrangement, SIPP Power will acquire approximately 58.6ha within Sedenak Tech Park West, with an option to acquire up to a further 162ha for future expansion, potentially bringing the campus footprint to approximately 220ha,” said both parties in a joint statement yesterday.
Located within Ibrahim Technopolis, the new campus will further strengthen the growing digital infrastructure cluster at IBTEC and enhance Johor’s position as one of South-East Asia’s leading data centre markets.
The statement also noted that the Sedenak campus will complement the YTL Green Data Centre Park in Kulai, Johor, with a planned capacity of up to 1.2 gigawatts.
“Together, the two campuses will provide YTL Power with the scale and flexibility to meet rapidly growing regional demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence or AI and increasingly power- intensive digital services,” the statement read.
JLand Group managing director Datuk Sr Akmal Ahmad said that the group anticipates YTL Power’s contributions in leveraging its capabilities and network.
“This collaboration aims to establish a platform that attracts complementary investments, creates new opportunities, and enhances Johor’s position in the regional digital economy,” he explained. — Bernama
