Microsoft Eco Business Park VI is a data center project in Kulai, Malaysia, operated by Microsoft. It has been announced and has not yet reached the land or permitting stage. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Record last checked against its sources on 21 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Power arranged.
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 Microsoft Eco Business Park VI 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.
Microsoft has 3 others in Malaysia and 10 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Microsoft Eco Business Park I, Microsoft Nusa Cemerlang (Mukim Pulai) and Microsoft Malaysia West Region (3 sites, Greater KL). It sits on the Microsoft Johor - Kulai/Senai campus. The named user of the compute is Microsoft (confirmed).
The money on record is RM402.3m (about US$85m) as of June 2024, the announced investment.
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 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 11 June 2024, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
hyperscaler self-build land (post-2023)
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.
