KUALA LUMPUR : KJTS Group Berhad, through its specialised indirect subsidiary Green AI Sdn Bhd, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Shenzhen Envicool Technology Co Ltd, a global leader in precision cooling technologies, to drive next-generation energy-efficient data centre infrastructure across the ASEAN region.
In an official statement, KJTS announced that the agreement establishes a strategic partnership focused on delivering advanced cooling infrastructure for data centres. The collaboration will leverage Green AI’s project leadership and ownership capabilities alongside Envicool’s internationally recognised expertise in innovative temperature control systems.
Headquartered in Shenzhen and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Envicool is renowned for its cutting-edge cooling technologies and comprehensive experience in supporting high-performance, energy-optimised environments. Under the terms of the MoU, the two companies will cooperate on build-operate-transfer (BOT) and retrofit-operate-transfer (ROT) projects. Green AI will serve as the primary executor and asset custodian, while Envicool will provide proprietary technologies, design consultation, technical assistance and ongoing training.
The partnership also intends to implement a performance-based operating model, ensuring measurable efficiency and energy savings, calculated in US dollars per tonne of refrigeration per hour (USD/RTh). This client-centric approach is expected to enhance transparency and accountability in cooling performance outcomes.
KJTS described the alliance as a significant milestone in the Group’s strategic roadmap to meet rising regional demand for intelligent, sustainable data centre solutions. It added that the synergy between its project execution strengths and Envicool’s technological leadership would reinforce their competitive positioning and create lasting value for stakeholders.
“This collaboration with Envicool represents a major step forward in KJTS’s and its subsidiaries’ regional strategy to deliver intelligent, low-carbon cooling solutions that meet the growing demands of the data centre industry,” the Group stated. “By leveraging our project delivery capabilities and Envicool’s global presence and track record as the leading data centre cooling provider in China to enhance the market positioning of the partnership, we are confident in our ability to create long-term value for clients while contributing to broader environmental goals.”
