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 Princeton Digital Group JH1 ranks 11th 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.

Princeton Digital Group has 1 other in Malaysia and 7 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Princeton Digital Group JH2. It sits on the PDG JH1 (Sedenak) campus. Named funding comes from Warburg Pincus, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Mubadala 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 (Bldg 1) at 52 MW is operational with a 2024 target; Bldg 3 (topped out late 2025) is under construction. The dated record runs from under construction on 17 October 2023 to operational and expanding on 4 July 2024. The money on record is US$1.5bn as of July 2024, the announced investment. Power comes from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) through grid supply.

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 10 public sources for this project, the latest dated 14 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

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.
