Tropical sunlight shines on the fields in Setiu, Terengganu, Malaysia. Soon, photovoltaic arrays will be erected here to convert the abundant equatorial sunlight into clean electricity. Recently, China Energy Engineering Group's subsidiary, China Power Engineering International Corporation, and China Power Engineering Malaysia Corporation formed a consortium and officially signed the EPC contract for the fifth round of large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSS5+) projects in Malaysia with the owner, marking the substantial implementation stage of this large-scale ground mounted photovoltaic power station with a planned DC side installed capacity of 280 megawatts. The project is planned to be promoted through an integrated investment, financing, construction, and operation model. The Chinese company will rely on the accumulation of new energy technology, international engineering management capabilities, and local resource coordination experience to ensure high-quality performance.

The project is located in the Setiu area of Terengganu state on the east coast of the Malaysian peninsula, in a region with superior tropical light resources, which is very suitable for developing large-scale ground mounted photovoltaic power stations. According to the contract agreement, the installed capacity of the DC side of the project will reach 280 megawatts, and after completion, it will be connected to the local power grid, directly increasing the proportion of renewable energy generation in Malaysia. It is an important component of the fifth round and above batches of Malaysia's large-scale solar energy program (LSS).

Promoting the integration of investment, financing, construction, and operation

Unlike the traditional simple construction model, this project is planned to be implemented through an integrated approach of investment, financing, construction, and operation. In addition to assuming the responsibilities of design, procurement, and general contracting for construction, China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) will also leverage its integration capabilities across the entire new energy industry chain - from planning investment and financing plans in the early stages, coordinating equipment supply chains, to engineering construction management and later operation and maintenance - striving to achieve the optimal balance between cost, schedule, and quality, and laying a solid foundation for deepening the Southeast Asian new energy market in the future.keywords:Domestic new energy latest news,New energy latest reports

Building a benchmark for green energy cooperation between China and Malaysia

This signing is seen as a new footnote to the pragmatic cooperation between China and Malaysia in green energy. After the full capacity operation of the project, it is expected to provide a large amount of clean electricity every year, replacing a considerable scale of fossil fuel power generation, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and helping Malaysia's energy structure transition to low-carbon. For Chinese enterprises, this is also another key landing point for expanding the influence of green infrastructure in Southeast Asia, following Cambodia's photovoltaic and other new energy projects in Malaysia. It is expected to become a demonstration project for the joint construction of the Green Silk Road between China and Malaysia.Editor/Yang Meiling
