Your call. Will it be built?

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

Penang / North MY holds 7 active projects with 432 MW of planned IT load between them, and DPS Energy / Hangzhou Xinfengwei Melaka DC (MoU) ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is under construction, 1 is at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Penang / North MY, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only DPS Energy (DPS Resources) project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from DPS Resources Bhd on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-03, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The money on record is US$1.1bn as of April 2026, the announced investment. Power comes from CEIG (M) Sdn Bhd (China Energy International Group) - proposed through captive generation (reported, unconfirmed).

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 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 17 August 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
