Malaysia: Energy Commission seeks bids to build large scale solar PV plants

The Energy Commission is conducting a second competitive bidding process for
companies to build large scale solar (LSS) photovoltaic (PV) plants in
Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah/ Labuan.

It announced on Tuesday the plants will be connected to the grid and sell
their energy to Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) or the Sabah Electricity Board
(SESB) under a solar power purchase agreement.

"The LSS capacity to be tendered will be from one to 30 megawatt (MWac) with
a target aggregate capacity of 360MWac in Peninsular Malaysia and 100MWac in
Sabah/Labuan, which is expected to be commissioned by in 2019 to 2020," it
said.

The EC will also announce the injection points for the connections to the
grid.
