DayOne Kempas Tech Park Campus is a data center project in Johor Bahru (Kempas), Malaysia, operated by DayOne (ex-GDS International). It is operational and expanding. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one. The operator reports 330 MW running.
Record last checked against its sources on 17 October 2026.
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.
Johor holds 43 active projects with 4,880 MW of planned IT load between them, and DayOne Kempas Tech Park Campus has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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.
DayOne has 4 others in Malaysia and 4 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including DayOne Gerbang Nusajaya (Tanjung Kupang), DayOne Nusajaya Tech Park Campus and DayOne Kapar Campus (land assembly). It sits on the DayOne Kempas campus. Named funding comes from Hillhouse Investment and Boyu Capital on the equity side. Named users of the compute are ByteDance and Oracle (reported, unconfirmed).
Power comes from TNB Renewables Sdn Bhd through a renewable power purchase agreement.
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 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 6 October 2026, and last checked the record on 17 October 2026.
