TNB Renewables and AFRY Partner to Build 30MW Solar PV Plant in Kedah, Malaysia
TNB Renewables and AFRY teams up to construct a 30MW solar PV plant in Kedah, Malaysia, advancing sustainable energy in Southeast Asia
Good news for renewable energy! TNB Renewables, a subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), and AFRY are developing a large solar PV plant in Kedah, Malaysia. It’s all about bringing clean energy to the table, and they’re doing it in style.
So, here’s the deal: The plant in Pekan Labu Besar is part of TNB’s push for sustainable energy solutions in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. They’re not messing around either – we’re talking about a 30 MWac capacity solar tracker installation That’s some serious green energy!
But what’s really interesting here is that it’s not just about electricity generation. It’s just making sure it gets to the right places. Through a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA), clean energy is locked in to the commercial customer at a reasonable price. It’s a win-win for growth and cost effectiveness.
And who helps to make all of this happen? None other than AFRY, which is a big gun in the technology consulting world. With their track record – over 500 solar projects in 80 countries – you know they mean performance. They are responsible for everything from project management to design reviews, ensuring this solar PV dream becomes a reality.
AFRY’s regional director for Asia, Petteri Harkey, was surprised by the partnership. He is all about supporting Malaysia’s renewable energy journey and bringing AFRY expertise to the table. With people like him leading the charge, you can bet this CGPP project is in good hands.
So, here’s to cleaning up energy and big moves in Malaysia’s renewable landscape. Young people like us are driving the change in mindsets, and it’s so scary to see it all unfold.
And let’s not forget the wider impact of such projects. Not only to energise businesses; It’s about creating a ripple effect of change. By reducing greenhouse gases and paving the way for sustainable energy practices, projects like the CGPP project in Kedah are creating the future we want to live in. So, here’s to TNB Renewables, AFRY, and everyone else involved – they don’t just build solar power plants, you are creating a brighter tomorrow for all of us. Thank you!
