Gamuda, Gentari Tie Up to Develop 1.5 Gigawatts Solar Project

Infrastructure firm Gamuda Bhd. and clean energy company Gentari Sdn. will jointly develop approximately 1.5 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity as they seek to meet power demand for hyperscale data centers in Malaysia.

The companies will develop solar photovoltaic power plants paired with battery energy storage systems, according to a joint statement on Monday. Hyperscale data centers in Malaysia are projected to require over 5 gigawatts of reliable power by 2035, underscoring the urgent need to expand renewable energy capacity to meet rising demand, they said.
