Microsoft Malaysia West Region (3 sites, Greater KL) is a data center project in Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, operated by Microsoft. It is operational. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
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.
Klang Valley holds 33 active projects with 1,911 MW of planned IT load between them, and Microsoft Malaysia West Region (3 sites, Greater KL) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 5 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 10 are under construction, 7 are at the land and permitting stage and 6 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Klang Valley, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Microsoft has 3 others in Malaysia and 10 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Microsoft Eco Business Park I, Microsoft Eco Business Park VI and Microsoft Nusa Cemerlang (Mukim Pulai). Named users of the compute are Petronas and TNG Digital (confirmed).
Cooling uses evaporative 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.
