Next gate to watch: Land secured.

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 Kota Petra Green Technology Park AI DCs has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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 Zecon project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Kota Petra Green Technology Park. Named funding comes from Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad and Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation. 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.

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 19 August 2026, and last checked the record on 17 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-03. 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.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Malaysia, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
