Green & Smart brings online its first wholly-owned Malaysian biopower plant

Green & Smart Holdings, a renewable energy company generating power from
biogas captured through the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME), has
brought online its first power plant.

The 2MW Kahang biogas plant, located in the state of Johor, Malaysia, is now
fully operational at headline capacity and renewable power generated from
the plant is being exported to the national grid at expected levels,
following the successful completion of testing.

The group has been recording initial revenues from the sale of power to
Malaysia's national utility company since testing began in late September
2016.

GSH expects to receive the formal commercial operation certificate (COD)
from the national utility in early 2017.

Saravanan Rasaratnam, group MD at Green & Smart, said: "This marks a
significant milestone achievement for Green & Smart, as we become an
independent power producer supplying electricity to the national grid. It is
also a reflection of our commitment to support the government of Malaysia in
its renewable energy initiatives."

The group will be announcing a trading update in respect of the year ended
30 September, 2016, during January 2017.
