Teco Electric and Machinery Co Ltd (東元電機), a leading Taiwan-based electric machinery supplier, has won mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contracts in hyperscale data center engineering projects in Malaysia worth about NT$1.17 billion (US$39.78 million).
Teco on Friday said that two data center projects, one in Selangor and the other in Johor Bahru, marked the company’s inroads into the hyperscale data center business and have a combined capacity of 178 megawatts (MW).
The two contracts showed “not only Teco’s advanced technical capabilities in hyperscale data center MEP engineering, but also showcases its Intelligence Energy Business Group’s competence in project integration and execution on the international stage,” Teco chairman Morris Li (利明?) said.

As Malaysia is rapidly rising to become a major data center hub in Southeast Asia, the contracts are expected to support the company in broadening its footprint in the data center infrastructure market, Teco said.
The firm has been well-positioned in the MEP engineering sector and is recognized as an industry expert in fiber connectivity for hyperscale data centers, it added.
The project in Selangor’s Elmina Business Park includes server room installations and the deployment of hyperscale fiber-optic communications infrastructure, while the project in Johor Bahru’s Sedenak Tech Park involves providing fiber-optic solutions for hyperscale data centers, it said.
As major global tech giants are accelerating the deployment of hyperscale data centers in Southeast Asia, the company would continue to seek opportunities to win more contracts and further extend its reach in the data center business, Teco said.
The company has more than 10 years of experience in data center MEP engineering development and has delivered integrated solutions totaling more than 240MW in capacity, it added.
The company’s Intelligence Energy Business Group is executing a landmark data center MEP project in Singapore, which includes the installation of the world’s first 13,864-core hyperscale fiber-optic cable, Teco said.
Teco said its total installed capacity for data center projects across Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries has surpassed 700MV.
In addition to engineering solutions, the company also provides core MEP products essential for data center construction, such as modular solutions, high-efficiency motors, busways, generators, transformers and switchboards.
Tropical Storm Nari is not a threat to Taiwan, based on its positioning and trajectory, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said yesterday. Nari has strengthened from a tropical depression that was positioned south of Japan, it said. The eye of the storm is about 2,100km east of Taipei, with a north-northeast trajectory moving toward the eastern seaboard of Japan, CWA data showed. Based on its current path, the storm would not affect Taiwan, the agency said.
The Taipei Department of Health’s latest inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables sold in local markets revealed a 25 percent failure rate, with most contraventions involving excessive pesticide residues, while two durians were also found to contain heavy metal cadmium at levels exceeding safety limits. Health Food and Drug Division Director Lin Kuan-chen (林冠蓁) yesterday said the agency routinely conducts inspections of fresh produce sold at traditional markets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, retail outlets and restaurants, testing for pesticide residues and other harmful substances. In its most recent inspection, conducted in May, the department randomly collected 52 samples from various locations, with testing showing
The government should improve children’s outdoor spaces and accelerate carbon reduction programs, as the risk of heat-related injury due to high summer temperatures rises each year, Greenpeace told a news conference yesterday. Greenpeace examined summer temperatures in Taipei, New Taipei City, Taoyuan, Hsinchu City, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung to determine the effects of high temperatures and climate change on children’s outdoor activities, citing data garnered by China Medical University, which defines a wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) of 29°C or higher as posing the risk of heat-related injury. According to the Central Weather Administration, WBGT, commonly referred to as the heat index, estimates
Taipei and other northern cities are to host air-raid drills from 1:30pm to 2pm tomorrow as part of urban resilience drills held alongside the Han Kuang exercises, Taiwan’s largest annual military exercises. Taipei, New Taipei City, Keelung, Taoyuan, Yilan County, Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County are to hold the annual Wanan air defense exercise tomorrow, following similar drills held in central and southern Taiwan yesterday and today respectively. The Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Maokong Gondola are to run as usual, although stations and passenger parking lots would have an “entry only, no exit” policy once air raid sirens sound, Taipei
