Operators of data centres in Malaysia are grappling with rising power costs and unclear pricing structures as new tariffs take effect, potentially increasing electricity expenses by 10% to 14%. This price hike could jeopardize Malaysia's appeal as a data centre hub, previously attracting investments from major companies such as Microsoft and Google. Industry experts indicate that the new tariff structure may lead to higher costs for large data centre operators, prompting some investors to reconsider their expansions and potentially shift investments to neighboring countries like Vietnam and Thailand.
