You post something like this and expect quality replies? No wonder Malaysia feels hopeless sometimes...

About the utility readiness —if you were the utility provider, ask yourself: Would you invest in expensive infrastructure first, and then hope the customers come later?

We’re talking about large-scale infrastructure that involves massive CAPEX — not a few thousand ringgit, but millions or even billions.
No utility provider will commit that kind of spending unless they can recover it.
If there are no confirmed users, no ability to bill, and a real risk of underutilization — who wants to answer to the board for spending without guaranteed demand?

It’s just logical business decision-making.

When a data center comes in, their power requirements are huge. We're not talking about small-scale installations with a single or double chamber that take a few months to commission. A typical data center may need anywhere from 5 MW to 20 MW — which means they need a PMU.

That PMU needs its own building, proper design, and must be constructed and handed over to TNB.
Only after TNB officially takes over can they begin their part — which could take another 18 to 24 months for external 33kV cabling and energization.


Reference taken from the TNB's Handbook

Even if the DC building construction is fast-tracked, the overall project still hits a bottleneck when it comes to power readiness from the utility provider like TNB.

The same issue applies to SAJ when it comes to water supply — if the current water tower can’t meet the demand, a new one needs to be built, and that takes time.

So the ang moh companies face this problem here and act surprised — as if they won’t face similar issues elsewhere (Thailand, Philippine or Australia )?
Unless there’s a comprehensive master plan that has been in place for years specifically to cater for data center needs, I doubt any town planner or state government would be crazy or foolish enough to build such large infrastructure without a guaranteed anchor client.

I live to see you suffer.

So why butthurt over DC construction given you only care about me?

Insaf la, go back to praying crypto go to moon.

hopeless is good. Many businesses in Malaysia are indeed hopeless topkek one.

as for the bolted part, thats malaysia isnt it

build first than wait customer then when no customer come, cry father mather king.

Project forest city bailout

i dont care about you but I enjoy seeing you suffer miserable.

Ah, then prepare to live longer.

I'm happy I'm the only thing you have to live for ❤️

Are you kidding? Cheap water and power is what we are famous for lah.

i live for my life. Not for you.

I live to see BTC to the moon.

But still many people steal electricity, errand payment and waste water. Cheap doesnt mean good system.

Guys, it's not just 33kV. As far as I know, these large DC projects currently require 275kV. Inside the TNB portal for consultation, it already shows that TNB has established a dedicated team to handle this type of project.

Normally, for 275kV—or even 132kV, which I've seen before—the fastest completion time is around 2 to 3 years. Keep in mind, this involves pylon erection and land acquisition, which can be a huge mess, especially when private land is involved.

The building and internal infrastructure are quite straightforward; it's the external infrastructure that's going to be the real challenge.

That’s a different issue but we attract investment in power hungry and resource intensive industries. Without a huge pool of skilled labour it’s all we can do.

He talking about himself, B40 types curi letrik and the way he post questions and poor knowledge of his own country.

If just planners where just more aware like playing city skylines

come to SEA sebab nak cheap land, cheap electric and cheap water but cant wait for infra to be built?

the video said lack of skilled labour.

She, not He. You nail it. owai.

Seem you have good knowledge yet still lose to thailand.

You mean lost to Thailand about He being She?

Maybe owai. You may like

The concern is clean power, we need more solar power.
Also we might not have enough water, weather like this if continue for few more months some area might be facing water issue.

Yeah, I used to do that. From office in KL goto TPM or Cjaya, charge mileage RM1.50 per km return, back to customer. Change tape/hdd, connect cable, check fan/aircon. Nowadays everything lights out/remote but if router reset, still need to go check if UPS down.
