Key ASIC와 CT Vision은 지속 가능한 컴퓨팅 확장을 지원하기 위해 말레이시아에 완전 재생에너지 기반의 AI 데이터 센터를 구축할 계획입니다.
Malaysian semiconductor designer Key ASIC has entered into an agreement with Hong Kong-based investment firm CT Vision to develop a green artificial intelligence data center in Malaysia. Last week, the companies executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic partnership to construct and operate the facility, which will include dedicated renewable energy generation to fully power the site.
Purpose-built for AI and machine learning workloads, supercomputing, and enterprise cloud services, the facility is projected to reach a total IT load of approximately 300 megawatts within five years of commissioning. According to Key ASIC, the collaboration will deliver an “end-to-end sustainable AI infrastructure ecosystem” that integrates dedicated green energy generation. The project targets 100 percent renewable energy penetration and aims for a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratio of 1.2 or lower.
The MoU contains a ten-year confidentiality provision. Both parties plan to complete feasibility studies, site planning, and engineering and commercial structuring by year-end.
“This partnership represents a paradigm shift: we are not merely constructing a data centre, but building a green energy-to-AI ecosystem,” said Eg Kah Yee, executive chairman and CEO of Key ASIC. “By building and generating our own green energy specifically for AIDC use, we achieve exceptional energy security, long-term cost competitiveness and full ESG accountability. Aligned with relevant national and state government authorities, this project underscores Malaysia’s strategic advantage as a premier destination for sustainable AI infrastructure in Southeast Asia.”
Lian Mingcheng, executive director of CT Vision, added: “Malaysia offers outstanding renewable resources, strategic geographic location and stable policy environment – ideal for next-generation AI infrastructure. Combining Key ASIC’s local market mastery, semiconductor innovation and strong alignment with regulatory and development authorities, with our global capital and green technology strengths creates a new benchmark for sustainable development. We are proud to jointly deliver a project that aligns with the highest global environmental standards while supporting the rapid growth of the regional digital economy.”
Founded in 2005, Key ASIC designs semiconductors, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and energy-efficient computing solutions. The company states it is currently directing investments toward IoT, blockchain, and AI technologies. CT Vision maintains a diversified portfolio of international investments, concentrating on AI, 5G, IoT, biomedicine, and the development and operation of clean energy.
