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.

Where it sits

Klang Valley holds 33 active projects with 1,911 MW of planned IT load between them, and SQDC Cyberjaya data centre ranks 10th by planned capacity. Of those, 5 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 10 are under construction, 7 are at the land and permitting stage and 6 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Klang Valley, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only SQDC project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from Selangor Industrial Corporation (PKNS) and DC Union. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 23 June 2026. The money on record is RM2.5bn (about US$604m) as of June 2026, the announced investment. Cooling uses immersion cooling.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Malaysia costs about US$0.14 per kWh as of July 2025, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Malaysia, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 25 June 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
