News & Reviews:   AI Demand

Malaysia's data centre electricity consumption is expected to increase to 31% by 2035 from just 7% today. This is driven by the rapid growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) and data centre industries. In total, data centres will consume 73,274 GWh in Malaysia in just 9 years. To meet this high energy demand, the operating hours of existing thermal power plants will be extended as a short-term solution.
