Data pack · Updated 12 October 2026
How much data center capacity Malaysia has installed, how it compares with the rest of Asia Pacific, and what our trackers show about its sites, operators, deals and rules.
Malaysia data center capacity at a glance
Malaysia had about 1.3 GW of installed data center capacity (IT load) at the end of 2025, by our estimate. That is about 3% of the capacity in Asia Pacific and puts Malaysia at number 12 of the 26 countries in our global model. Our Data Center Tracker holds 64 sites in Malaysia run by 26 operators: 40 operational, 11 under construction and 13 planned. Our trackers also hold 23 verified deals and 5 government measures in force for the country.
Installed capacity is IT load, the power available to servers, storage and network. The country figure comes from the same model as the global and regional totals and is benchmarked against dated public figures. Site figures below are what each source states, often a campus’s full build-out, so they are not the same measure.
