The proposal covers multiple Malaysian sites
AI infrastructure company Aolani, based in Singapore, has signed letters of intent for up to 500 MW of additional AI data-centre capacity in Malaysia. The proposal concerns planned capacity across multiple sites.[1], [2]
Aolani targets the facilities starting to come online in the second half of 2027. The letters are non-binding and remain subject to negotiation and signature of definitive agreements. Its announcement sets out a future development programme, with completion dependent on those subsequent arrangements.[1]
Aolani plans to supply computing infrastructure
Under the proposed arrangement, Aolani intends to provide AI infrastructure, graphics-processor deployments and operating requirements once the facilities are completed. It says the sites are intended to meet Tier III design standards. The planned computing resources are aimed at large global cloud operators and AI-native companies, with local access to computing also part of the company’s stated purpose.[1]
Earlier commitments form part of a larger target
The company says it committed approximately 80 MW in 2026. Including the new proposal, it projects Malaysian commitments of up to 580 MW by 2027. It is also exploring computing initiatives and partnerships for Malaysian sovereign AI programmes, enterprises, researchers and startups. Founded in Singapore in 2023, Aolani describes Malaysia as a strategic base for its infrastructure expansion. These partnership discussions remain exploratory.[1]
