AirTrunk will invest $4.2 billion to build two giant data centres in Malaysia, as its existing campuses in the country near capacity amid booming demand for facilities that can power artificial intelligence.
The new data centre campuses, dubbed JHB3 and JHB4, will add 240 megawatts of capacity to AirTrunk’s portfolio and are located in Johor Bahru. The state of Johor has emerged as a data centre hot spot, capturing demand spillover from neighbouring Singapore.
