Kuala Lumpur, Wednesday 19 August 2026 — JLand Group through its subsidiary JLG Technopark Sdn Bhd and YTL Power International Berhad, through its subsidiary SIPP Power Sdn Bhd, today announced a strategic partnership for a proposed joint development at Sedenak Tech Park West (STeP) in Johor which will include a new gigawatt-scale data centre campus.
As part of the arrangement, SIPP Power will acquire approximately 145 acres within STeP West, with an option to acquire up to a further 400 acres for future expansion, potentially bringing the campus footprint to approximately 545 acres. This proposed development will significantly expand YTL Power’s data centre footprint in Johor.
The collaboration brings together YTL Power’s experience in developing and operating large-scale digital infrastructure with JLand Group’s role as master developer of IBTEC, enabling the infrastructure and ecosystem for next-generation industries.
Located within Ibrahim Technopolis (IBTEC), STeP is JLand Group’s platform for large-scale digital and advanced technology development. Building on the momentum of STeP East, STeP West marks the next phase of growth, with the scale to support major data centre and AI investments. The new YTL campus will further strengthen the growing digital infrastructure cluster at IBTEC and enhance Johor’s position as one of Southeast Asia’s leading data centre markets.
The Sedenak campus will complement the YTL Green Data Center Park in Kulai, with a planned capacity of up to 1.2 GW. Together, the two campuses will provide YTL Power with the scale and flexibility to meet rapidly growing regional demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence and increasingly power-intensive digital services.
Johor’s proximity to Singapore, international connectivity, expanding infrastructure and growing technology ecosystem have positioned the state as an increasingly attractive destination for global digital infrastructure investment.
Datuk Sr. Akmal Ahmad, Group Managing Director of JLand Group, said: “We are pleased to welcome YTL Power into the IBTEC ecosystem. Their presence at STeP West brings significant digital infrastructure investment and strengthens the wider ecosystem across energy, utilities, technology, and supporting industries.
We look forward to YTL Power contributing its capabilities and network as we continue building a platform that attracts complementary investments, creates new opportunities, and strengthens Johor’s position in the regional digital economy.”
Dato’ Seri Yeoh Seok Hong, Managing Director of YTL Power International Berhad, said: “The establishment of a new gigawatt-scale campus at Sedenak represents an important expansion of YTL Power’s digital infrastructure platform in Johor and across the region.
Together with our expanding Kulai campus, Sedenak will further strengthen Johor’s position as a leading regional centre for artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital innovation.”
The development is expected to support skilled employment across construction, engineering, technology and data centre operations. It is also expected to generate wider economic activity throughout the associated energy, infrastructure and technology supply chains.
