Energy Commission Chairman Datuk Seri Asri Hamidon (far right).

The signing ceremony was conducted by DayOne CEO Jamie Khoo and TNB President/CEO
Datuk Ir. Ts. Shamsul bin Ahmad, and was witnessed by senior Malaysian government
officials including Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Energy Transition
and Water Transformation (PETRA) Deputy Minister Dato’ Sri Abdul Rahman Mohamad,
Energy Commission Chairman Datuk Seri Asri Hamidon, DayOne Chairman Lim Ah Doo, 
and TNB Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Razak bin Abdul Majid.

Formalised under Malaysia’s Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) – a
framework introduced by the Energy Commission of Malaysia enabling companies to 
source green electricity directly from renewable energy developers – the agreements
cover approximately 1.5GWp of solar capacity and 2.2GWh of battery energy storage
for ground mounted solar and hybrid hydro floating solar (HHFS), marking a major
step toward decarbonizing DayOne’s data center operations in Malaysia and supporting
the country’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).

The agreements comprise Bilateral Energy Supply Contracts ("BESC") with both TRe
and GenCo. They also include the transfer of associated renewable energy certificates(
RECs), supporting DayOne’s goal of reaching 100% renewable energy across its full
platform by 2030 or earlier where market conditions allow, as well as a 42% absolute
reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its 2025 baseline. This builds on DayOne’s
CRESS agreement with TNB signed in June 2025, which enables DayOne to secure 500
megawatts of renewable energy over a 21-year term to support its data center operations
in Malaysia. Together, DayOne secures over 1GW of renewable energy in Malaysia through
the partnership with TNB.

The partnership directly supports Malaysia’s NETR and the country’s ambition to 
achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as early as 2050, with renewable energy
targeted to account for 70% of installed capacity by that date. It also reinforces
Malaysia’s position as a regional hub for data centers, cloud and AI infrastructure–
a market where access to reliable renewable energy is an increasingly critical requirement
for global hyperscalers.

Together, the agreements position DayOne among the first companies to move from 
renewable energy intent to full contractual execution under CRESS, reinforcing Malaysia’s
role as a strategic digital infrastructure hub supported by cleaner power pathways.

The signing further expands the scale of DayOne’s renewable energy collaboration
with TNB, reflecting the company’s long-term commitment to and confidence in Malaysia
as a core market for sustainable hyperscale growth. DayOne’s operations in Malaysia
currently include two hyperscale campuses in Nusajaya Tech Park (NTP) and Kempas
Tech Park (KTP). Alongside a RM28 billion cumulative commitment by end of 2026, 
the company is scaling Malaysia into its largest global operational footprint.

"Today’s signing marks an important milestone in how we scale digital infrastructure
responsibly," said **Jamie Khoo**, Chief Executive Officer of DayOne. "As demand
for AI and cloud infrastructure accelerates, securing long-term access to renewable
energy is critical. We are proud to be TNB’s largest customer and contribute to 
the stability of the national grid. This partnership strengthens our ability to 
grow in Malaysia with greater energy resilience while supporting our customers’ 
sustainability ambitions."

**Datuk Ir. Ts. Shamsul bin Ahmad**, President/CEO of TNB, said, "Through CRESS,
we are facilitating greater access to sustainable and reliable energy solutions.
TNB is proud to partner with DayOne in advancing a cleaner, more resilient energy
ecosystem that supports Malaysia’s digital economy ambitions."

Following the ceremony, Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim toured the
DayOne exhibition booth, and was introduced to DayOne’s local supplier ecosystem
and 3D models of DayOne’s prefabricated modules for the generator set, air cooling,
and Fan Wall Unit (FAU) corridor.

As digital infrastructure requirements continue to rise across the region, DayOne
remains focused on building ahead of demand with future-ready campuses, responsible
energy strategies and partnerships that unlock growth with impact.
