Jacobs was appointed by Pulau Indah Power Plant Sdn Bhd (PIPP) to deliver owner's engineer services for the development of a 1,200 megawatt (MW) Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) situated on Pulau Indah in Klang, Malaysia.
The project will deliver a 1,200 MW combined cycle gas turbine plant to improve baseload supply for the region. When complete, it will provide high efficiency, low carbon power to the central region of peninsular Malaysia, including in Klang, Kuala Langat and Sepang districts where there is high demand for electricity. The new plant is expected to help attract new industrial development investments, stimulate economic activity and create new employment opportunities in the region.

Commercial operation is currently slated for January 2024. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) will purchase the power generated from the new power plant through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
