ST Telemedia Global Data Centres breaks ground for first data centre in Johor

It also signed an MOU for talent development.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) has commenced construction of STT Johor 1, the first data centre facility in the STT Johor data centre campus.

STT GDC’s data centre campus is located within the Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, just 15 kilometres from Singapore.

Spanning over 22 acres of land, the campus has a development potential of 120MW of IT load.

STT Johor 1 is the first facility to be built on campus, designed with an IT load capacity of 16MW, and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2026.

In addition to STT Singapore 5, STT Johor 1 will also be connected to STT Kuala Lumpur 1 and STT GDC’s other data centre interconnection hubs in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines via a Data Centre Interconnect service.

The STT Johor campus will utilise renewable and low-carbon energy sources. STT GDC is in talks with several renewable energy providers, such as Ditrolic Energy, to become the renewable electricity supplier for STT Johor 1's operations.

Moreover, STT GDC and the Johor Talent Development Council also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to lead a comprehensive industry talent development initiative for the rapidly growing data centre sector. This aligns with the goals of the recently established Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone.

Through this collaboration, the partners aim to cultivate a strong pool of skilled professionals in sustainable data centre operations, positioning Johor as a hub for data centre expertise in Southeast Asia.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
