Malaysia to auction 460MW of large-scale solar PV

The Energy Commission of Malaysia (EC) has issued a Request for Proposla
(RfP) document hoping to auction up to 460MWac of large-scale solar
capacity.

Under EC's second competitive bidding programme, it hopes to awards projects
of 1-30MW capacity to make up a total of 360MW in Peninsular Malaysia and
100MW in Sabah and Labuan in the East.

All solar plants will be connected to the grid, with power purchase
agreements to be signed with the main utilities Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB)
or Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd. (SESB).

The RfP document was made available last week and the deadline for
submissions is 1 August 2017.

Last November PV Tech caught up with Catherine Ridu, chief executive officer
of the Malaysia Sustainable Development Authority (SEDA) to discuss the
policies needed to drive solar in the Southeast Asian country.
