Empyrion Eyes 200MW Data Center Campus in Johor, Malaysia

APAC data center firm Empyrion Digital is expanding into Malaysia, with the company this week announcing plans for a 200MW campus in Johor. Located in Nusajaya within the SiLC Industrial Cluster of Johor, the 34.9-acre MY1 campus is set to feature five 40MW buildings, with the first phase energized in September 2026 and the first building due to go live in Q4 2026.

Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital, said: “Malaysia has emerged as a key destination for hyperscale data centers, driven by strong digital transformation, favourable infrastructure, and government support. MY1 reflects Empyrion Digital’s continued ambition to expand our pan-Asian platform and meet our customers’ needs for scalable, green-by-design, and AI-ready infrastructure. Johor will be a cornerstone location in this strategy.”

Empyrion said it has received regulatory approval for both the Electricity Supply Agreement (ESA) and Data Centre Task Force (DCTF) application.
