TWO data centre units under the Keppel Corp umbrella have agreed to develop and operate a maiden project in Johor, Malaysia, with a targeted 2020 completion date.

In filings to the Singapore Exchange on Monday, the units said that Alpha Data Centre (DC) Fund has secured a contract to develop a high-availability, build-to-suit data centre for a technology customer. Alpha DC Fund has in turn agreed to let Keppel Data Centres Holding undertake the initial development and subsequent facilities management for the data centre.
