Powerwell bags RM16.6mil data centre switchboard contract

KUALA LUMPUR: Powerwell Holdings Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kejuruteraan Powerwell Sdn Bhd (KPSB), has accepted four purchase orders worth RM16.6mil for the supply of switchboards and components to a hyperscale data centre project in Elmina Business Park, Selangor.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the electrical switchboard maker said the orders are expected to be fulfilled by the first quarter of calendar year 2026.

KPSB secured the orders from RYBE Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd, Protech Builders Sdn Bhd, and LFE Engineering Sdn Bhd.

“Building on the recently secured RM8.3mil data centre job in Indonesia, this win boosted our current outstanding order book and is expected to contribute positively to our earnings in the current financial year (FY26). Not resting on our laurels, we continue to work on tenders for data centre, industrial, renewable energy, and infrastructure jobs,” managing director Catherine Wong Yoke Yen said.

As of end-March 2025, the group’s outstanding order book stands at around RM116mil excluding the latest orders.
