YTL GDC Park | Next-Generation Green Data Center & Digital Infrastructure Hub
Status: Under Construction / Phased Operational (Initial phases commenced operations) | Location: Kulai, Johor, Malaysia (Sedenak Tech Park area, Iskandar Region)
Project Overview
The YTL Green Data Center Park is a visionary, large-scale campus located in Kulai, Johor, Malaysia, strategically positioned to serve the surging data demands of the Southeast Asia region, particularly from its neighbour, Singapore. Developed by YTL Data Center Holdings, the project is designed for a total capacity of up to 500 MW and is unique in its commitment to sustainability, aiming to be the first hyperscale campus in Malaysia to be co-powered by on-site renewable solar energy.The development is a phased effort across a massive 664-hectare site, with 275 acres dedicated to data center buildings. The anchor tenant for the first phase (JDC1) is e-commerce giant Sea Ltd, securing an initial capacity of 32MW. A major acceleration came through a partnership with NVIDIA, where YTL is investing in advanced AI infrastructure, including supercomputers powered by liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB200 GPUs (JDC2/JDC3 facilities). This partnership positions the park as a crucial regional hub for next-generation AI cloud computing. The technical specifications highlight a commitment to energy efficiency. While initial facilities use standard cooling, the high-density AI centers will incorporate Direct-to-Chip (DTC) liquid cooling to maintain a low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), targeting $\sim 1.3$ or lower. Financially, the project represents a significant commitment, with an expected total investment of RM15 Billion over its full build-out. By integrating dedicated solar farms alongside access to the national grid, YTL is leveraging its parent company's background as an integrated infrastructure developer to deliver a truly end-to-end, sustainable, and highly efficient digital platform. This focus on green technology and AI readiness makes the YTL GDC Park a prime example of APAC's evolving data center landscape.
