DayOne today announced that it has signed Malaysia’s first-ever CRESS agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), securing up to 500MW of renewable energy over a 21-year term to power its data center operations in Malaysia. This landmark agreement makes DayOne the first corporate to execute a Bilateral Energy Supply Contract (BESC) under the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) framework—a major step in its decarbonization journey and Malaysia’s national energy transition, according to the company’s Linkedin post.
Backed by new solar generation capacity from TNB Renewables, the agreement will support DayOne’s hyperscale campuses in Nusajaya Tech Park (NTP) and Kempas Tech Park (KTP).
“Sustainability is core to how we build, operate, and grow. We’re embedding ESG principles across our value chain—from renewable energy transition to helping our customers decarbonize AI and cloud workloads,” said Jamie Khoo, CEO of DayOne.
At the signing ceremony, MITI Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz reaffirmed the role of partnerships like this in driving clean energy, digital innovation, and high-quality jobs under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and the National Energy Transition Roadmap.
Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, President/CEO of Tenaga Nasional Berhad called the agreement “a powerful signal of how a strategic collaboration can unlock reliable and scalable clean energy solutions for Malaysia’s most demanding digital infrastructures, including hyperscale data centers.”
This partnership builds on DayOne’s 2024 ESA and MoU with TNB and supports Malaysia’s national initiatives like the Green Lane Pathway and One-Stop Center for Data Centres as it accelerates toward a 70% RE target and net-zero ambition.
