Malaysia: Construction of TNB's large scale solar project to start next
month
Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is scheduled to commence construction of its
first Large Scale Solar (LSS) project in Malaysia next month.
The project will take place on a 97 ha site in Mukim Tanjung 12, Kuala
Langat, Selangor.
The land, which is being cleared in phases, will be developed into solar
farms (68 ha) while the remaining is occupied by an existing high voltage
transmission line (29 ha).
Once completed and fully operational by November 2018, the project will
generate and transmit 50MW (megawatt) of electricity to the national grid,
said TNB in a statement today.
TNB's wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB Sepang Solar Sdn Bhd was awarded the
project by the Energy Commission through a competitive bidding exercise.
TNB aspires to deliver most of Malaysia's Renewable Energy by investing in
solar, wind, biomass, biogas and mini hydro projects.
As part of the group's international expansion plan, TNB is also acquiring
RE assets.
Last month, the company completed the acquisition of a 50 per cent interest
in Vortex Solar Investments S.a.r.l. for the acquisition of an operational
365MW solar PV portfolio in the United Kingdom.
