“Electricity is computing power,” said Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), predicting that global data center power demand will more than double by 2030. The trend toward hyperscale facilities is accelerating, with each data center in the Americas averaging 100MW of IT capacity, about twice the global average of 50MW. Malaysia has become a key hotspot for US and Chinese tech giants expanding their AI and cloud infrastructure, while Taiwan’s average load of just 7MW underscores its lag in large-scale AI development.
