Kuala Lumpur / Singapore, 12 January 2026 – TM Nxera, the joint venture between Telekom Malaysia (TM) and Nxera, Singtel’s regional data centre arm, has signed a multi-year electricity supply agreement with Tenaga Nasional (TNB). This agreement secures 280MW of power for TM Nxera’s upcoming state-of-the-art, hyperconnected, AI-ready data centre campus in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, which is scheduled to begin the first phase of commercial operations in 2026.
Marking this milestone, senior leaders from TM, TM Nxera and TNB came together for a document exchange ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, underscoring the strategic partnership to support the development of TM Nxera’s data centre. TM was represented by Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, Group Chief Executive Officer, and Khairul Liza Ibrahim, Executive Vice President, TM Global, alongside TM Nxera representatives Bill Chang, Chairman; Mahathir bin Said, Chief Executive Officer; and Benedict Kwok, Chief Operating Officer. TNB was represented by Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Bin Megat Hassan, Chief Executive Officer, and Datuk Kamal Arifin Bin A. Rahman, Chief Retail Officer, reflecting the importance of reliable and scalable power infrastructure in enabling Malaysia’s digital and AI-driven growth.
Mahathir bin Said said, “As reliable and sustainable energy is the key to powering Malaysia’s digital economy and AI ambitions, this agreement with Tenaga Nasional is a critical step forward for our state-of-the-art, green digital infrastructure in Johor. TM Nxera is more than just a data centre venture, it will be a strategic catalyst to accelerate the adoption of AI, cloud and advanced technologies across industries. With 280MW of secured power, we are enhancing our capabilities to support Malaysia’s transformation, attracting global technology investments and fuelling a thriving ecosystem for industrial growth."
The new cloud-enabled Tier 3 data centre campus is one of the flagship investments within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone and is poised to further strengthen Malaysia’s position as a leading regional hub for cloud and AI innovation. Designed to support large-scale AI workloads with scalable capacity of more than 200MW, the facility will serve as a cornerstone of the country’s digital infrastructure, supporting hyperscalers, AI application providers and enterprises to accelerate digital transformation and cloud adoption across the region.
The data centre campus will feature advanced liquid cooling technologies to support large-scale AI deployment and deliver exceptional performance efficiency. It is designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, integrating energy and water-efficient technologies to maximise resource efficiency. Enterprises and hyperscalers will gain cost-effective access to green and secure infrastructure, without having to build and manage their own facilities. Connectivity for the data centre campus will be backed by TM and Singtel Group’s Digital InfraCo subsea cable networks, ensuring robust global reach and low latency network performance. Together, these capabilities will create one of the most advanced digital infrastructure platforms in Southeast Asia, powering the next wave of AI innovation, cloud adoption and industrial growth.
