15 July 2019: Scatec Solar and partners have grid connected its third solar
power plant in Malaysia, the 66 MW (DC) Merchang plant. The company now has a
total of 197 MW in operation in the country.
"We are pleased to have reached another important milestone together with our
partners in Malaysia. This also marks the completion of Scatec Solar's first
large scale solar project in South East Asia, a market where we are working on
several interesting opportunities", says Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.
The Merchang plant is expected to provide about 94,000 MWh of electricity per
year and the plant started to generate revenues 31 May 2019. The clean energy
produced by the plant will contribute to avoid about 70,000 tonnes of carbon
emissions per year and provide more than 31,000 households with electricity.
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 plants with
a total capacity of 911 MW in operation and another 993 MW under construction.
