Malaysia’s booming data centre sector could be supported by round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy solutions, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. RTC systems combine solar and wind power with energy storage and smart grid management to deliver a continuous 24-hour supply of clean electricity.
Ibraheem Almansouri, director of engineering at the energy agency, highlighted the relevance of RTC solutions for industries where uninterrupted power is critical. “RTC solutions can enable such facilities to be located more flexibly, leveraging lower-cost renewable energy while maintaining reliability,” he said.
Malaysia’s data centre market is projected to become one of the largest in the Asia-Pacific region, with capacity expected to more than quadruple by the end of the decade. Growth is driven by cloud computing, artificial intelligence workloads, and increasing demand for data storage, emphasising the need for dependable and affordable energy. This is reported by
BERNAMA, a partner of TV BRICS.
Experts highlight that the key challenge to implementing RTC solutions lies in institutional readiness, including the coordination of grid operators and national stakeholders, rather than technological limitations. Malaysia’s adoption of RTC systems could also provide a blueprint for other rapidly digitalising economies in Southeast Asia seeking reliable, clean energy for critical infrastructure.
