Shanghai Electric (上海电气) reported winning the Samalaju combined-cycle gas-turbine Unit 3 project in Sarawak, Malaysia. The project is located in Samalaju Industrial Park.

The stated construction scope is one 500-megawatt-class gas–steam combined-cycle generating unit. This is an electricity-generation capacity classification, not a data-center load commitment or a measure of AI computing capacity.

The source reports a project award, not commissioning or completed electricity delivery. It supplies no contract value, construction schedule, named electricity purchaser, or connection to the separate Malaysian AI-campus projects covered elsewhere in the digest.
