The Malaysian renewable energy producer reNIKOLA Holdings has been shortlisted to deliver 618 MWp of solar capacity under Malaysia’s Large Scale Solar 5+ (LSS 5+) programme, an initiative launched as part of the country’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR). The award covers two solar projects located in Kemaman, in the state of Terengganu (Malaysia). The first, a 250 MWac / 386 MWp project, will be developed by a consortium comprising reNIKOLA, Malaysia’s RE Chenderong (formerly RE Gebeng BKH), and UK-based Anglo-Eastern Plantations (AEP). The second project, with a capacity of 150 MWac / 232 MWp, will be carried out by a consortium formed by Malaysia’s Antara Hijauan, a wholly owned subsidiary of reNIKOLA, in partnership with AEP. Both solar parks are expected to be commissioned by the end of 2027 and will supply clean electricity to the national grid under a 21-year power purchase agreement.
As of the end of 2024, Malaysia had an installed solar capacity of nearly 2 GW, accounting for approximately 5% of its total electricity generation capacity. The country aims at reaching 70% of renewables in the power capacity mix by 2050, which will require a more than tenfold increase in its capacity from 2023 to 2050.
