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.
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 Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).
