Non-AI Data Centres Restricted, Power And Water Supply Sufficient – PM Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- The government has restricted the entry of new data centres unrelated to artificial intelligence (AI) for nearly two years to reduce pressure on the national power grid and water supply, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Acknowledging a surge in energy and water usage following the operations of data centres, he said that projections indicate Malaysia still has the capacity to ensure sufficient supply.
