JOHOR Corporation Bhd (JCorp) has partnered with Kinergy Advancement Bhd (KAB) to boost sustainable energy solutions, particularly focusing on enhancing the efficiency of data centres.

The collaboration will see KAB, through its subsidiary KAB Energy Holdings Sdn Bhd (KABEH), develop customised energy-efficient projects, renewable energy (RE) initiatives, and clean energy (CE) solutions for JCorp’s facilities.
