Princeton Digital delivers Phase One of one of Southeast Asia’s largest DCs in Johor

Princeton Digital delivers Phase One of one of Southeast Asia’s largest DCs in Johor

04 Jul 2024

Princeton Digital Group yesterday announced the delivery of Phase One of its state-of-the-art 150MW JH1 data centre (DC) campus in Sedenak Tech Park (STeP), Johor. 

One of the largest DC campuses in Southeast Asia, JH1 is Princeton Digital’s flagship AI-ready facility in Malaysia serving some of the world’s largest technology companies.

Delivered in just 12 months, Phase One comprising 52MW of the JH1 campus, represents further validation of Princeton Digital’s SG+ strategy that enables customers to seamlessly expand their infrastructure from Singapore to highly scalable DC campuses located in Singapore, Batam and Johor. 

The JH1 campus incorporates cutting edge sustainable technologies and next generation design.

The rooftop of the project will be utilised for generating renewable energy through the installation of solar panels. 

In May this year, the company secured its first RM1.28 billion (US$280 million) green loan for JH1. 

Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the campus has been one of the fastest projects to be launched in Johor. 

“It not only signifies a significant investment in our state’s infrastructure but also brings forth immense opportunities for technological advancement and economic growth.

“This initiative will undoubtedly bolster Johor’s position as a hub for innovation and attract further investment, ensuring a prosperous future for our state and its people.”

Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz said the delivery reflects the speed of Malaysia’s investment facilitation. 

“Indeed, Malaysia’s growing stature as a regional leader in Asia’s digital economy, particularly for sustainable data centers, is evident from recent major investment announcements by global tech giants. 

“Through our clear policies and strong execution, RM161.97 billion in digital investments have been approved from 2021 to March 2024, and we are pleased to see many earlier commitments coming to fruition.”

Asher Ling, Princeton Digital chief technology officer and managing director of Singapore, emphasised the company’s commitment to expanding its presence in Malaysia.

“It is a proud moment for PDG, delivering Phase One of JH1 today. However, establishing a state-of-the-art green data center campus like this goes beyond economic growth; it’s also about our commitment to nurturing talent and creating jobs in this rapidly growing industry.”
