TM Nxera – the JV comprising Telekom Malaysia and Singaporean data centre operator Nxera – completed construction of its first hyperscale AI-ready data centre in Johor on Friday.
The Tier-III data centre, located in Iskandar Puteri in Johor, will initially support 64MW of capacity, and is designed to scale up to 200MW as demand increases, supporting large computing and AI capabilities required by customers such as cloud hyperscalers and GPU-as-a-Service providers.
TM Nxera said in a LinkedIn post that its topping out ceremony “marks a significant milestone, reflecting the progress, effort, and dedication that have brought us to this stage.”
The company said it’s also looking forward to making the facility ready for service, although it didn’t provide a specific target date. TM Nxera has previously said the facility would start commercial operations sometime this year.
The data centre has been in the works since June 2024, when TM and Nxera announced they were forming a JV to develop data centres in Malaysia.
In January, TM Nxera signed a multi-year agreement with Tenaga Nasional (TNB) to supply 280MW of power for the data centre.
Nxera CEO Bill Chang said in a separate LinkedIn post on Friday that he was “really happy to see the rapid, smooth and safe progress of the buildout of this large scale AI DC specially designed to host some of the most demanding AI workloads in the industry.”
