Collectively, we are not only expanding Malaysia’s data center equipment but also advancing technology, conservation, and economic development for future generations”.
Meanwhile, Eric Fan, CEO of Bridge Data Centres, expressed his appreciation for TNB’s dedication and efficiency, stating:” The MY07 Electricity Supply Agreement is important in ensuring dependable power availability, enabling BDC to keep fast delivery timelines for our hyperscale data centre services and meet the powerful demands of our customers.
