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 Keppel DC Johor 1 (+ Sedenak expansion) 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.
Keppel has 9 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Keppel DC SGP 11, Jurong Island (DC-CFA2), Keppel Floating Data Centre and DC1. It sits on the Keppel Sedenak/Kulai campus. The named user of the compute is Microsoft (reported, unconfirmed).

DCD (2018-11-27) reported Keppel Data Centres Holding and Alpha DC Fund would build a Tier III build-to-suit in Sedenak for 'one of the top three cloud operators globally', 'understood to be Microsoft'. DCD (2022-09-29) on Keppel Corp's acquisition of the asset repeats that the cloud-provider tenant was 'rumored to be Microsoft' and held a purchase option. Never confirmed by Keppel or Microsoft in the eight years since; DCD is the named source.
