KL1 Kuala Lumpur soft-opened on 4 May 2026, with the official launch scheduled for 14 May 2026.

Where is NEXTDC KL1 located?

KL1 sits on approximately 10 hectares in the Klang Valley, around 10 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur City Centre in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

How big is NEXTDC KL1?

How does Malaysia compare to Australia as a data centre market?

Australia operates around 1.4GW today and is forecast to reach approximately 3.2GW by 2030. Both markets are power-constrained, but Malaysia has implemented a formal AI-only approval filter while Australia operates a softer sovereign-AI preference under its December 2025 National AI Plan. Malaysia also has an operational sovereign-AI stack via YTL and Nvidia in Kulai, Johor; Australia's sovereign-AI build is largely still in planning.
