KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 2): Mah Sing Group Bhd (KL:MAHSING) has signed a collaboration term sheet with Kinergy Advancement Bhd (KL:KINERGY) to provide technical advisory and evaluate power infrastructure for its proposed data centre developments, according to a press statement issued on Friday.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary Garden Vista Development Sdn Bhd, Mah Sing entered into the non-binding and non-exclusive agreement with Kinergy to assess captive power plant options and Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) frameworks for its sites at Southville City in Bangi, Selangor, and Meridin East in Pasir Gudang, Johor.
Under the term sheet, Kinergy will serve as the technical adviser to provide preliminary technical and commercial input on potential energy supply arrangements, plant sizing, technology assessment, site suitability and project structures.
The strategic collaboration combines Mah Sing's site-planning capabilities with Kinergy's technical expertise across engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning, power generation and sustainable energy solutions to support Mah Sing's "monetise, develop and own" digital infrastructure strategy.
Mah Sing group chief executive officer Datuk Voon Tin Yow said: "For large-scale data centres, power is as critical as land, connectivity and water. Planning the energy infrastructure early can strengthen the readiness, scalability and long-term competitiveness of a data centre development.
“This term sheet allows both parties to evaluate the opportunities together, while preserving flexibility for Mah Sing as the projects progress," he added.
Kinergy founder, executive deputy chairman cum group managing director Datuk Lai Keng Onn said: "By combining our complementary capabilities, we can explore how engineering and energy solutions can support the next phase of data centre development and the growing demand for reliable, scalable power.
“Importantly, the proposed captive power solutions are intended to complement the wider electricity system, providing an additional source of capacity and flexibility alongside conventional grid supply rather than replacing it," he added.
