The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) will benefit data centres in a big way, says DCByte.

In case you missed it, DCByte has released a report on the JS-SEZ, put together by none other than Vivian Wong and Sarvaesh Mohan.

Here are some key highlights from the DC Byte report.

**JS-SEZ at a glance**

Cross-border cooperation between two economies to benefit businesses via the enhancement of regulations, incentives and infrastructure.

- Area of 3,505 sq km.
- 4x the size of Singapore.
- Almost 2x the size of Shenzhen.

A total of 9 flagship zones are identified with 11 key sectors to benefit from facilitated investments.

**Data centres in Johor**

As I've previously written, Johor has seen incredible growth over the last few years, from just 10MW of data centres in 2021 - and none before that!

Today, Johor has:

- 26 data centre operators.
- Johor reached half of S'pore capacity in 3 years.
- Capacity that Singapore took a decade to achieve.

Indeed, data from DC Byte shows that the capacity of data centres in Johor surpassed Singapore's by 2023\*.

*\*Counting data centres under construction and planned*

**Data centres to benefit**

Expect data centre supply growth to be bolstered through a combination of:

- Streamlined regulations.
- Greater tax incentives.
- Enhanced infrastructure.

The JS-SEZ is aligned with Singapore's "SG+ Strategy", a Singapore plan to encourage the construction of data centre capacity in spillover markets such as Johor and Batam.

And yes, I probably should start writing more about Batam.
