Computility Technology (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (CTDC), BGMC Energy Holdings Sdn Bhd (BGMC), and renewable energy producer reNIKOLA have signed a strategic term sheet to develop a long-term renewable energy supply programme in Malaysia. The agreement will support the decarbonisation of large-scale digital infrastructure by supplying renewable electricity to power an upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) data centre in Gelang Patah.
Under the partnership, CTDC, wholly owned by ZDATA, will use renewable power generated from BGMC’s solar farm assets to operate ZDATA’s first AI data centre in Malaysia. The programme is expected to begin in 2028 and will supply approximately 630,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually, supporting Malaysia’s national energy transition and sustainability targets.
In parallel with the renewable energy initiative, CTDC announced that it has eliminated reliance on municipal water for its cooling systems. The company has implemented a self-sustaining cooling loop using proprietary recycling technology, reducing pressure on local water resources in Johor while improving operational resilience and independence from external infrastructure.
The companies stated that the green energy alliance forms part of a broader strategy to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into digital and industrial infrastructure development. With the agreement signed, the partners will now move into the implementation phase to ensure the renewable energy supply programme is ready ahead of the data centre’s planned operations in 2028.
