<p>The Malaysian government has been expanding its renewables share in its energy portfolio in the past few years.</p>
<p>In February 2019, The Suruhanjaya Tenaga had <a href="https://mercomindia.com/malaysia-500-mw-solar-tender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a 500 MW large-scale solar tender in Peninsular Malaysia. Once commissioned, the solar projects will be connected to the grid and sell energy to Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) under a power purchase agreement. This is the third large-scale solar project tender under the country’s large-scale solar program. The projects will be between 1-100 MW (AC) capacity and are expected to be commissioned by 2021.</p>
<p>The Energy Commission of Malaysia <a href="https://mercomindia.com/malaysia-awards-solar-projects-five-companies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded</a> nearly 491 MW of large-scale solar projects to five companies in January 2020. The winning companies were ib vogt GmbH and Coara Solar, Cypark Resources Berhad and Impian Bumiria, JKH Renewables and Solarpack Asia, ENGIE Energie Services, and TTL Energy, and Konsortium Beseri Jaya and Hanwha Energy Corporation Singapore.</p>
<p>In June last year, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (<a href="http://www.ketsa.gov.my/en-my/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KeTSA</a>) of Malaysia <a href="https://mercomindia.com/malaysia-tender-solar-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated</a> a 1 GW solar tender. The tender has been floated under the fourth round of the nation’s large-scale solar program initiated by the Malaysian government to attract investments in the renewable sector. This is the largest capacity ever tendered by the Malaysian government.</p>
<p>TNB Renewables, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysian utility company Tenaga Nasional Berhad (<a href="https://www.tnb.com.my/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TNB</a>), is also set to <a href="https://mercomindia.com/malaysian-utility-39-stake-sunseaps-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buy</a> a 39% stake in five rooftop solar projects developed by Singapore-based <a href="https://www.sunseap.com/SG/about/sunseap_group/group.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunseap Group</a> in Vietnam. The process is expected to be completed by March 2021.</p>
