PETALING JAYA: YTL Power International Bhd
, Ganda Power and Siemens Energy have signed reservation agreements for four additional SGT-9000HL gas turbine units.
In a statement, YTL Power said the reservations add to the three units previously secured by Ganda and YTL Power, bringing the total to seven, intended to support power generation projects in Malaysia and the wider region with a combined capacity of over 5,250MW.
“The agreement advances YTL Power’s commitment to meet growing energy needs in Malaysia and regionally, as industrial expansion, electrification and the development of data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) drive demand for reliable electricity,” said the company.
“They also extend a longstanding relationship combining YTL’s infrastructure development and operating experience with Siemens Energy’s generation technology.”
YTL Power managing director Datuk Seri Yeoh Seok Hong noted that Siemens Energy has been a trusted partner for more than three decades, with a shared commitment to engineering excellence and long-term investment.

“Energy is the foundation of the AI economy. By combining our power generation experience with our expanding capabilities in data centres and AI, we are building the infrastructure that will support our customers’ growth and the industries of the future.”
YTL Power said the agreements complement its investments in digital infrastructure, spanning data centres, Nvidia-powered accelerated computing through YTL AI Cloud, and AI models and applications developed by YTL AI Labs, including the Malaysian large language model, Ilmu.
“Together, these investments support the infrastructure needed to meet the growing demand for energy and digital services.
“Siemens Energy’s SGT-9000HL gas turbine family is designed to deliver high efficiency and operational flexibility and reliability, supporting dependable electricity supply as power systems integrate more renewable energy.”
Karim Amin, member of the executive board of Siemens Energy AG and gas services executive vice-president, said the long-standing relationship with YTL is “built on trust and a shared focus on performance”.
“The recent agreement with YTL and Ganda Power reflects our shared commitment to Malaysia’s growing digital economy and future generation capacity.
As demand for data centres accelerates, reliable and resilient power infrastructure will be critical to enabling this growth while strengthening the country’s energy security.
