AI-driven data centre infrastructure expansion

Overview

Data centre operators in Malaysia and China are expanding infrastructure to meet rising demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing. In Malaysia, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) secured up to $1.75 billion in green financing to develop the STT Johor campus at the Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park. The facility is designed for a planned capacity of up to 166 megawatts of IT load to support cloud computing and high-performance computing. Bitdeer Technologies is significantly scaling its Malaysian presence through its subsidiary, Bitdeer AI. The company has fully contracted the 9.5 MW capacity of its A102 liquid-cooled data centre via five-year long-term offtake commitments. Designed for NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 deployments, the A102 facility is expected to generate over $800 million in revenue when it begins operations in the first quarter of 2027. Bitdeer AI has further expanded its Johor Bahru campus by securing a 65.1 MW AI cloud data center facility, known as A202. Expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2027, A202 will utilize NVIDIA’s GB300 NVL72 and Vera Rubin platforms. This expansion brings Bitdeer’s secured global AI Cloud capacity to approximately 206.5 MW, advancing toward its 350 MW target for early 2028. Following this, the company reported its active pipeline for AI cloud capacity has grown to exceed $7 billion. CFO Michael G. Potter noted that demand for liquid-cooled, rack-scale AI cloud capacity for 2027 is currently “outpacing available supply.” In China, GDS Holdings doubled its 2026 sales target to 1 gigawatt following record bookings, including 263 megawatts in the second quarter.
