K2 JHR1 Campus is a data center project in Sedenak (Kulai), Malaysia, operated by K2 Strategic (Kuok Group). It is operational and expanding. The published capacity figure is 84 MW, and its basis is not stated as IT load. The operator reports 40 MW running.
Record last checked against its sources on 21 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 K2 JHR1 Campus ranks 22th 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.
K2 (Kuok) has 2 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including K2 Data Centres BKK31-32, Rayong and K2 Data Centres JKT01, Cikarang. It sits on the K2 Sedenak Tech Park. Named funding comes from Kuok Group on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Phase 1 (opened Oct 2024) at 40 MW is operational with a 2024 target; JHR01-03 balance at 20 MW is announced; JHR04 (Phase 4) at 24 MW is under construction with a 2026 target. Power comes from TNB through grid supply at 275 kV. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid 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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 24 July 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
No published price band exists for Malaysia, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
