Scatec Solar and partners have grid connected its second solar power plant in
Malaysia, the 65 MW (DC) Jasin plant. This plant is the second of three 65 MW
solar plants under completion by Scatec Solar in Malaysia.
"We are pleased to have reach commercial operation for the Jasin solar plant,
doubling our assets in operation to 130 MW in Malaysia. South East Asia
continues to be a key market for us, and we expect that the Government of
Malaysia will maintain high ambitions for the deployment of renewable energy in
the country", says Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.
The plant, located in the south-west of Peninsular Malaysia is expected to
provide about 94,000 MWh of electricity per year, providing energy for more than
31,000 households. The clean energy produced by the Jasin plant will contribute
to avoid about 70,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
In December 2016, Scatec Solar entered the Malaysian large-scale solar energy
market by joining forces with a local ITRAMAS-led consortium that had signed
three 21-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the country's largest
electricity utility, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). The partnership covers
realisation of three solar plants totaling 197 MW with a total investment of
about MYR 1,235 million (USD 293 million).
With grid connection of this power plant, Scatec Solar currently has 714 MW in
operation and another 941 MW under construction.
