KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 10): Electrical engineering firm Jati Tinggi Group Bhd (KL:JTGROUP) has secured a RM33.1 million subcontract to undertake electrical infrastructure works for interim power supply to a data centre in Gerbil, Negeri Sembilan.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday, the group said its wholly owned subsidiary, Jati Tinggi Holding Sdn Bhd, was awarded the job by an unnamed main contractor.

The subcontract involves the supply, design, installation, testing and commissioning of two circuits of 275kV power cables connecting a transition yard to the data centre's substation.

It also covers the construction of a transition yard, overhead line take-off works and associated secondary system modifications.

The works will be carried out over nine months.

Jati Tinggi said the subcontract is expected to contribute positively to its future earnings and net assets per share over its duration.

This marks the group's second contract win in the first two weeks of November. On Nov 3, Jati Tinggi, together with Reactive Energy Sdn Bhd through an unincorporated joint venture, secured a RM2.9 million contract from Tenaga Nasional Bhd to supply, install, test and commission a community energy storage system.

The works form part of TNB's Pulau Tenaga Hijau project involving its distribution network, marking Jati Tinggi's expansion into battery energy storage systems and energy storage solutions.

Shares in Jati Tinggi fell five sen or 4.39% to close at RM1.09 on Tuesday, giving the group a market capitalisation of RM482.8 million.
