Nvidia-backed Firmus signed OpenAI as an anchor customer for Malaysian data-centre capacity, taking contracted megawatts above 900. [1] Reuters filed the Tuesday deal. [1] This paper printed the signature then. Monday has no new offtake sheet and no megawatt-hour print in fetched copy. Contracted is not flowing.

A contract is not a turbine. Above 900 megawatts is a claim, not a meter. Dangote's IPO on the fold is a share sale, not this yard. Nscale talks from earlier in the week are a different cloud.

Paper megawatts have a way of becoming real ones years later, or never. The difference shows up first in construction filings. None have been filed.

Data-centre power deals are the new oil concessions: sovereign-adjacent, long-dated, and announced before a single electron flows. OpenAI's name on the contract is the asset; the megawatts are the promise. This paper prints the signature and waits for the meter.

Printed signatures wait; Monday's waits. Waiting is the update. Meters decide.

Deciding meters wait; Monday waits. Waiting is the update. Signatures print first.

Long-dated, announced before a single electron flows. The signature is printed. The meter is not.

Malaysian megawatts are still a signature. OpenAI as Firmus's anchor customer took contracted capacity above 900, and Monday fetched no construction filing that would turn paper into turbines. Contracted watts are a claim, not a spinning hall. The meter remains unread.
