Through their respective subsidiaries – Gentari Renwables and Gamuda Energy – the companies plan to build solar PV power plants integrated with battery energy storage systems (BESS). These projects are being implemented under Malaysia’s Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS).
As of the end of 2024, Malaysia had an installed solar capacity of around 2 GW, accounting for approximately 5 per cent of total electricity generation capacity. Malaysia has set a target to reach 40 per cent renewable capacity in its power mix by 2035 and to reach 17 per cent share of renewables in the total energy mix by 2040.
