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

Sarawak & E. Malaysia holds 3 active projects with 17 MW of planned IT load between them, and FutureData Park (Ph1: Global Telecommunications DC) ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Sarawak & E. Malaysia, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only FutureData (TSG Group + Cyclect consortium) project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the FutureData Park. Named funding comes from TSG Group and Cyclect. The named user of the compute is Global Telecommunications Group (confirmed).

The money on record is US$130m as of October 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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 24 October 2024, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
