Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Malaysia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Malaysia.

How well evidenced is it

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. On record: disclosed client (confirmed), dated, sized phase, three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.

ArusGrid estimate, building costabout US$839m to US$1.2bn

No figure has been announced. This range is 87 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$11.37 per watt for Malaysia, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.
