Malaysian semiconductor designer Key ASIC has signed an agreement with Hong Kong-based investment firm CT Vision to develop a green AI data center in Malaysia.
The two companies signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last week, outlining a strategic partnership to build and operate the data center, including plans for dedicated renewable energy generation to fully power the facility.

The facility has a planned total IT load of approximately 300MW within five years of its launch and will be purpose built for AI and machine learning workloads, as well as supercomputing and enterprise cloud services.
Key ASIC said the partnership will deliver an “end-to-end sustainable AI infrastructure ecosystem,” integrating dedicated green energy generation. It will target 100 percent renewable energy penetration, with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratio less than or equal to 1.2.
