On November 11, according to a report by the New Straits Times, Malaysia plans to establish an independent electricity wholesale market for large power users such as data centers. Rumaizi Abdul Halim, Director of Market Regulation and Planning at the Energy Commission of Malaysia, stated that the existing "single buyer" electricity market serving households, factories, and commercial premises will remain unchanged. Both markets will be managed by the same operator, with interface details to be discussed later. This move highlights that Malaysia, in its push to become a regional data center hub, is beginning to address the related impacts. As a Southeast Asian country, Malaysia has attracted tech giants such as Oracle and Amazon to invest in artificial intelligence; Google announced last week that it plans to invest 15 billion US dollars to expand its data center and cloud operations in Malaysia.
