The project is the first renewable energy Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) for a data centre under the programme and marks an important step in accelerating the country’s energy transition while supporting the rapid growth of cloud and AI infrastructure in the region.
Under the long-term agreement, the solar facility, developed by ib vogt is now generating and delivering clean energy into Malaysia’s grid. The milestone demonstrates how collaboration between digital infrastructure providers and renewable energy developers can help meet growing energy demand sustainably while advancing national decarbonisation goals.
David Ludwig, CEO of ib vogt APAC, said: “At ib vogt, our purpose is to change the world by making decarbonisation a reality for our partners. We are proud to have delivered this project safely and responsibly, adhering to our deeply held belief that culture, anchored in ownership and integrity, is the most powerful enabler of strategy. This achievement reinforces our commitment to leaving the planet in a better state than we found it while fostering inclusive economic development in the communities where we operate.”
With operations now underway, this project supports Malaysia’s renewable energy ambitions under the CGPP, demonstrating how collaboration between digital infrastructure providers and renewable energy developers can help accelerate the transition to a lower-carbon economy while supporting long-term digital growth.
