Singapore-based Empyrion Digital has received regulatory approval to develop a 200 MW hyperscale data centre campus in Johor, following clearance for its Electricity Supply Agreement and Data Centre Task Force application. The project, known as MY1 Johor Data Centre Campus, marks the company’s first entry into the Malaysian market.
The MY1 campus will be developed at Nusajaya’s SiLC Industrial Cluster on a 34.9-acre site and is designed as a 200+MW facility comprising five 40MW buildings. The first phase is targeted to be ready for service in the fourth quarter of 2026, with initial energisation planned for September 2026. The project has secured an initial power allocation of 145MW from Tenaga Nasional Bhd.
Johor is projected to account for around 60 per cent of Malaysia’s total data centre capacity by 2030, driven by rising demand for hyperscale cloud and AI workloads and spillover demand from Singapore. The MY1 development will integrate with Empyrion Digital’s regional platform across Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei and Bangkok, expanding its total regional IT capacity beyond 200 MW.
