Johor Corp through its real estate and infrastructure arm and wholly owned subsidiary JLand together with Mitsui & Co are looking at the possibility of developing a Hyperscale Data Centre and a Captive Solar Farm in Ibrahim Technopolis (IBTEC) including Sedenak Tech Park (STeP), over the next two to three years.
Datuk Syed Mohamed Syed Ibrahim, President and Chief Executive of JCorp and Chairman of JLG said, “This strategic collaboration with Mitsui is a testament to our sustainable-driven projects and dedicated focus on enabling corporations to meet their ESG goals. In an increasingly data-dependent digital economy, we are proactively identifying and implementing renewable energy sources for the future of decarbonising data centres. This initiative is one of the major milestones for JCorp’s vision of a sustainable future while ensuring the state and country meet its decarbonisation aspirations.”.
Under this strategic collaboration, STeP –– the flagship 700-acre data centre hub –– is poised to attract the global hyperscale data centres, not only by offering future availability of RE, but also with comprehensive supporting packages including competitive green project financing from the market. This will provide excellent opportunities for regional customers seeking green data centres to meet their needs.
The collaboration will also involve other industry partners as co-developers, who will contribute sector expertise and knowledge transfer throughout the project investment, design, development, and maintenance phases. As part of the MOU, JLG and Mitsui will also explore other potential investment ventures within the Group’s portfolios, including Ibrahim Technopolis (IBTEC) which focuses on advanced industrial developments and environmentally friendly technologies, as well as the port business.
