AI Boom Drives Push for Green Data Centre in Tanjong Malim's Sungai Samak Estate
Unlocking Tanjong Malim: The Next AI Data Centre & Solar Energy Hotspot Malaysia’s Data Centre Moment: Tanjong Malim in the Spotlight As artificial intelligence (AI) revolutionizes global business and fuels surging demand for high-performance computing, the need for sustainable, reliable data centres has never been greater. Within Southeast Asia, Malaysia’s Tanjong Malim is quickly positioning itself at the forefront of this new digital wave, offering a rare blend of connectivity, scalability, and readiness for green energy integration. Recent research from S&P Global projects a dramatic ramp-up in data centre capacity needs from 2024 to 2029, led by the global adoption of AI. Alongside this boom, there’s a parallel shift: industry leaders and investors are prioritizing data centres that can access clean, renewable energy on-site—especially through purpose-built solar farms. Why Tanjong Malim? Situated along the strategic North-South Expressway and less than two hours from Kuala Lumpur, Tanjong Malim provides direct highways, robust power grid access, and strong fibre connectivity. Its proximity to Malaysia’s education and logistics corridors makes it an ideal candidate for digital infrastructure investment, standing out from overbuilt or congested city locations. Critically, state and national policies encourage digital infrastructure development, setting the scene for long-term growth and accelerating regulatory approvals. AI, Clean Energy, and Site Selection As S&P Global highlights, annual data centre energy requirements are increasing by double digits each year, especially as enterprise and cloud operators ramp up AI capabilities. This creates major urgency for sustainable site solutions. Integrating solar farms directly on data centre estates is becoming essential—not only for operational cost control, but also to satisfy rising corporate commitments to low-carbon, environmentally responsible growth. Tanjong Malim offers high solar irradiance and open land with minimal shading, giving energy planners and data operators an edge in solar deployment, grid export, and potentially even local microgrid innovation. Sungai Samak Estate: Five Plots, One Vision At the heart of Tanjong Malim’s digital transformation is the Sungai Samak Estate, which presents five contiguous land plots—each primed for rapid development of next-generation data centres with embedded solar assets. Here’s what makes these plots exceptional: All parcels are generously sized, ranging from approximately 60 to 75 acres each. Some plots are positioned with direct main road access, streamlining construction logistics. Others feature ideal, unshaded land orientation for solar installations, ensuring maximum photovoltaic yield. Throughout, the estate’s boundaries are fibre-ready, and certain plots are already cleared and graded for immediate build. For large-scale energy ambitions, at least one site includes proximity to established transmission infrastructure, opening pathways for utility-scale solar generation or potential private-wire agreements. Importantly, the estate is already zoned to support data, industrial, and renewable uses, smoothing the route through permitting and reducing project lead times—crucial for hyperscale and modular data centre projects racing to meet market demand. Each parcel, whether used individually or as part of an integrated campus, supports the contemporary design trend seen in leading tech geographies: clustering data operations together with renewable energy production, maximising both operational efficiency and green credibility. A Response to Shifting Market Demand Malaysia and the wider Asia-Pacific region are benefiting from major inflows of enterprise and hyperscale cloud activity, and Tanjong Malim is now poised to serve as the digital backbone for this growth. As global technology providers increasingly demand energy matching—ensuring their data operations are powered hour-by-hour by renewable sources—the Sungai Samak plots offer precisely the ecosystem required for innovation and compliance. Operators and investors are also looking for certainty. Sungai Samak’s parcels offer ample space not only for today’s large-scale facilities but for future phases, so developers can deploy cutting-edge GPU clusters and pivot to future technologies without land constraints. Beyond Land: Regional Advantages for Data Infrastructure Tanjong Malim can draw on a skilled talent base, thanks to the educational institutions in the area and its position on Malaysia’s logistics spine. This makes it easier for developers to build quickly and attract the technical workforce needed for ongoing operations. Connectivity is already robust, with access to Malaysia’s national fibre backbone and highway system, enabling efficient global linkages for data, power, and people. Looking Ahead: Malaysia’s Prime Location for the AI-Powered, Green Data Economy The future of digital and AI infrastructure in Southeast Asia will belong to those who secure sites that deliver on three fronts: location, sustainability, and scalability. The Sungai Samak Estate’s five prime plots in Tanjong Malim are uniquely positioned to become the regional benchmark for green data campus design, combining hyperscale computing needs with on-site solar generation. The opportunity is now open for developers, institutional buyers, and innovation-driven tech partners to explore these sites and stake their claim at the leading edge of Malaysia’s digital transformation.

Seatrium to Propel Offshore Innovation with First Turnkey FPSO Delivery to Petrobras
Seatrium Limited (“Seatrium” or “the Group”) is pleased to announce today the impending delivery of the PETROBRAS 78 (P-78) - the first of a series of turnkey Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSO), to Brazil’s National Oil Company, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A (Petrobras). The sailaway ceremony took place two weeks ago at Seatrium’s Singapore yard, marking a significant and timely milestone. Upon delivery, the P-78 will be deployed in Brazil’s prolific Buzios field, the largest deepwater oil field globally, with an impressive production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), 7.2 million cubic metres (mcbm) of gas per day, and a storage capacity of 2 million barrels of oil. The P-78 will rank among the largest in the global operating fleet of FPSOs. Mr Chris Ong, Chief Executive Officer, Seatrium said, "We take great pride in delivering the first of the series of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) FPSO to Petrobras. As a leader in providing sustainable offshore energy and infrastructure assets, Seatrium is committed to supporting Petrobras in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions from their floating production units. Our long-standing partnership with Petrobras in their decarbonisation journey spans five other FPSO projects, each showcasing innovative sustainability features. We look forward to building on our strong track record of performance, leveraging our seamless One Seatrium Global Delivery model to continue delivering safe and high-quality vessels that meet the evolving demands of the industry." Through its One Seatrium Global Delivery Model, the company collaborates with industry leaders for worldwide project execution leveraging its global footprint to transcend geographic boundaries. Seatrium’s global teams have fabricated the topside modules weighing an impressive 54,000 MT across its shipyards in Singapore, China and Brazil, in addition to the integration and commissioning works of the P-78 FPSO in Singapore. Upon completion, the P-78 will transit to the Buzios field, where Seatrium will conduct the final phase of offshore commissioning works. Ms Renata Baruzzi, Executive Officer for Engineering, Technology and Innovation, Petrobras said, “The FPSO P-78 is more than just the largest and most complex unit ever built for Petrobras — it is a testament to how far we’ve come. This vessel embodies the highest standards of construction and commissioning quality, integrating a wealth of new specifications and hardearned lessons from the Replicantes and Cessão Onerosa FPSO series. In many ways, the P-78 is the culmination of over 15 years of Petrobras’ legacy in building and operating FPSOs in the Pre-Salt region — a legacy now sailing into the future.” Seatrium has a strong track record of delivering vital projects for Brazil and Petrobras, including FPSOs, floating production units, Floating Storage Regasification Units, drilling rigs, and accommodation vessels, all pivotal to Brazil’s robust energy infrastructure. Beyond its technical impact, the P-78 FPSO project is also a major contributor to the Brazilian oil and gas sector, supporting increased national oil production and generating thousands of local job opportunities. By executing a substantial portion of the work in Brazilian shipyards, the project promotes local content development, workforce training, and long-term skills enhancement.
