KUALA LUMPUR (March 11): Malaysia has reached a milestone in sustainable digital infrastructure with the country’s first hyperscale data centre receiving provisional GreenRE Platinum certification for water, energy and sustainability design. The ZDATA facility is currently the only data centre in Malaysia to obtain this certification. The development previously received the Malaysia Green Data Centre Recycled Water Certification in August 2025 in recognition of its use of reclaimed water in large-scale digital infrastructure operations. The reclaimed water system allows cooling operations to run without using domestic potable water, reducing pressure on local freshwater resources. Beyond water sustainability, the data centre has been designed to achieve high energy efficiency standards and is expected to be largely powered by renewable energy.
