TM Nxera, a joint venture between Telekom Malaysia (TM) and Nxera, Singtel’s regional data centre arm, has recently signed a multi-year electricity supply agreement with Tenaga Nasional (TNB), Malaysia’s national electricity utility, securing 280MW of power for TM Nxera’s AI-ready data center campus in Johor. The campus is scheduled to begin the first phase of commercial operations in 2026.
Located within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, the Tier 3 data center campus is designed to support large-scale AI workloads with scalable capacity of more than 200MW. Connectivity will be backed by TM and Singtel Group’s Digital InfraCo subsea cable networks.
Senior leaders from TM, TM Nxera and TNB signed the deal in Kuala Lumpur. Among them were Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, Group Chief Executive Officer, TM Global; Bill Chang, Chairman of TM Nxera; Mahathir bin Said, Chief Executive Officer of TM Nxera; and Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Bin Megat Hassan, Chief Executive Officer of TNB.
“As reliable and sustainable energy is the key to powering Malaysia’s digital economy and AI ambitions, this agreement with Tenaga Nasional is a critical step forward for our state-of-the-art, green digital infrastructure in Johor. TM Nxera is more than just a data centre venture, it will be a strategic catalyst to accelerate the adoption of AI, cloud and advanced technologies across industries. With 280MW of secured power, we are enhancing our capabilities to support Malaysia’s transformation, attracting global technology investments and fuelling a thriving ecosystem for industrial growth,” said TM Nxera’s Mahathir bin Said.
