This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

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

Johor holds 43 active projects with 4,880 MW of planned IT load between them, and Bridge Data Centres MY06 ranks 19th by planned capacity. Of those, 3 are operational, 9 are operational and expanding, 11 are under construction, 1 is past financial close, 5 are at the land and permitting stage and 14 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Johor was 0.7% as of June 2026, on 897 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

Bridge Data Centres has 5 others in Malaysia and 2 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Bridge Data Centres MY07, Bridge Data Centres MY01/MY02 and Bridge Data Centres MY03. It sits on the BDC MY06 (Kidex Sedenak) campus. Named funding comes from Bain Capital on the equity side. The named user of the compute is ByteDance (confirmed).

The dated record runs from under construction in November 2021 to operational on 20 October 2022. The money on record is RM2.5bn (about US$595m) as of December 2021, the announced investment. Power comes from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) through a dedicated substation at 275 kV. Cooling uses evaporative 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 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 19 December 2022, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

GradeLicence required for a party

A party to this project (its operator, that operator's group, a funder, or a confirmed client) is headquartered in China or Macau or has an ultimate parent there. US rules require a licence for advanced AI chips destined to such entities wherever they are located. This describes the rule and says nothing about whether a licence was sought, granted or refused. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.
