Scatec Solar and partners’ have grid connected and reached commercial operation (COD) for the 65 MW Gurun solar power plant in Malaysia. The Gurun plant is the first of three 65 MW solar plants under completion by Scatec Solar in Malaysia.
The plant, located in the north-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 Gurun plant will contribute to avoid about 70,000 tons 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 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 (US$293 million).
