NuEnergy Holdings Bhd (NHB) has secured a RM44.5 million contract to undertake mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works for a data centre project in Johor Bahru, marking the company’s largest high-voltage project to date.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, NuEnergy said it has accepted a Letter of Award from a China-based construction and engineering company for the MEP works involving a two-storey 265kV/11kV Consumer Landing Station Building for the data centre development.
The project is scheduled for completion by the fourth quarter of 2026.
NuEnergy said the contract represents a major milestone in its strategic expansion into the extra high voltage (EHV) and transmission line segment, particularly as demand for supporting infrastructure continues to grow alongside the rapid development of data centres in Malaysia.
The company added that the project will further strengthen its presence in the high-voltage infrastructure sector while enhancing its capabilities in supporting critical power requirements for large-scale technology facilities.
NuEnergy expects the contract to contribute positively to its order book, revenue and profitability for the financial year ending December 31, 2026.
The latest project reflects the company’s efforts to capitalise on opportunities arising from Malaysia’s growing data centre ecosystem, where reliable and high-capacity power infrastructure has become increasingly essential to support digital transformation and cloud-based services.
