Johor has a rare opportunity to be one of the leaders of Southeast Asia’s digital future by embedding sustainability from the very first day. As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, the question isn’t whether to integrate sustainability, but how it can be built in from the ground up. Johor’s greenfield potential, pro-investment policies, and access to clean energy position it as a natural contender to become a sustainable digital hub. At AirTrunk, we’ve seen how early integration of sustainability drives investor confidence and operational efficiency. AirTrunk’s JHB1 facility in Johor introduced, a first in our portfolio, direct-to-chip liquid cooling to support AI workloads while improving energy efficiency. Sustainability is now an investment catalyst. The choices we make today will shape Southeast Asia’s digital trajectory and its environmental impact and legacy for decades to come.

INDUSTRY REPORT | The new Mandala report - Data Centres as Enabling Infrastructure - released today, highlights the critical role of data centres in securing Australia’s digital future.   The message is clear: collaboration, policy alignment and moving at speed are critical to unlock growth, enabling faster renewable energy development, and driving investment in innovative and sustainable water solutions. Four key findings from the report: ▪️ Data centres are powering Australia’s digital economy efficiently: consuming just 2% of Australia’s energy and less than 0.1% of Australia’s water. The technology sector generates ~$12.6B in gross value added per TWh of energy consumed which is higher than mining and manufacturing. ▪️ Data centres are driving investment in national infrastructure: By 2030, data centres will have invested $7.2B in grid upgrades and up to $1.1B in recycled water systems. ▪️ Data centres are leading the clean energy transition. 70% of data centre energy demand is renewable, supported by 1.5 TWh of direct renewable generation through PPAs and on-site solar. By 2030, up to 50% of water use will be recycled. ▪️ Coordinated action is essential: accelerating infrastructure approvals, enabling industry-informed standards and facilitating private investment will unlock sustainable growth at scale. Paul Slaven, Chief Development Officer at AirTrunk said: "Data centres are central to Australia’s digital economy ambitions but are often misunderstood. We need to build greater understanding of data centres - across society, government and industry - including the need for scale, speed and sustainability. The Mandala report shows how data centres drive economic growth, accelerate the clean energy transition, and strengthen Australia’s digital future.” The report, commissioned by four of Australia’s largest data centre operators, including AirTrunk, was released at the official launch of Data Centres Australia (DCA), the new peak body whose purpose is to advance the interests of the data centre sector and promote Australia’s national benefit in doing so.
