A commentary (opinion piece) by Ed Ansett, i3 Solutions Group, shared his thoughts on Small Modular Reactor (SMR) as a potential ‘Green Energy’ development to power modern and future data centers which are going to be consuming more and more power.
2022 and 2023 saw a number of large data center development projects in the 200MWe range, many of them in Southeast Asia.
Last year Yondr Group said it would develop a 200MWe hyperscale campus in Malaysia. The company announced a plan to develop 72.8 acres of land in Johor’s Sedenak Tech Park.
