SSDU, EER Digital Ink MoC To Explore Sustainable Data Centre In Selangor
KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Smart Selangor Delivery Unit (SSDU Innovations Sdn Bhd) has inked a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with EER Digital Sdn Bhd to explore a Sustainable Data Centre pilot project for Selangor to bolster the state's push for sustainable artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
In a statement, SSDU said the MoC was signed on the sidelines of the AIBP Conference & Exhibition Malaysia 2026, held here.
The event gathered corporate, government and tech leaders to tackle digital transformation, AI adoption, cybersecurity, and innovations grounded in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.
The collaboration, SSDU added, also marks its first foray into high-density AI infrastructure, including graphics processing unit (GPU) immersion cooling technology.
SSDU chief executive officer Gaddafi Musli said the partnership represents Selangor's first step to study how high-density AI infrastructure can be developed responsibly, with sustainability, governance and public value built in from the ground up.
"SSDU's role is to coordinate, assess, and bring together the right stakeholders so Selangor can make the best decisions moving forward," he said in the statement.
According to the statement, both parties will use the MoC to examine the feasibility, technical requirements, sustainability metrics, and governance framework for the pilot project, which aims to support AI-ready computing infrastructure while curbing the environmental footprint typically linked to high-density data centres.
The pilot will assess how well immersion cooling technology can handle GPU-intensive AI workloads, with particular attention to energy efficiency, water usage, space constraints, safety, operational readiness, cybersecurity, public sector applications and long-term scalability.
A joint technical working group is expected to be set up to develop a project action plan.
However, SSDU emphasised that the MoC is purely exploratory and does not signal any commitment to full-scale implementation or procurement awards.
