Berjaya Corp said it plans to develop Malaysia’s first large-scale solar photovoltaic power plant in central Selangor state, estimated to cost about RM180 million.
The 10-megawatt plant, to be located on a 50-hectare site, will be ready by 2011 and be able to generate power to supply electricity to 3,000 homes, it said in a statement today.
The project is a “precursor” to developing a 50-megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant in the future should the first plant be successful, it said in a statement today.

Berjaya Corp Bhd plans to spend RM180 million on a 10MW ground based solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant project to be located at Bukit Tagar in Selangor. Berjaya has submitted its proposal to the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water which is in the midst of reformulating its policy on renewable energy (RE) development and is expected to lead to a new power purchase tariff rate via a new feed-in tariff mechanism. In a release to the exchange yesterday, Berjaya said the project will be undertaken by its wholly-owned unit, Berjaya Solar Sdn Bhd, if the revised RE policy, especially the new power purchase tariff rate, is supportive of such a project.

Berjaya Corp Bhd's (BCorp) wholly-owned subsidiary Berjaya Solar Sdn Bhd plans to develop a RM180mil 10-MW ground-based Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plant at Bukit Tagar, Selangor,
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, BCorp said the plant was a precursor to developing a proposed 50-MW Solar PV power plant in future based on the success of the 10-MW plant it was undertaking.
“A detailed analysis of the proposed Solar PV project has been undertaken, including the consideration of crystalline PV as well as thin film technologies,” it said.
BCorp said Berjaya Solar had established strategic relationship with leading global Solar PV enterprises in the Asean region, such as EQ Solar and other PV manufacturers.
EQ Solar is in the advanced stage of preparation to set up its latest solar panel manufacturing plant in Johor producing mono- and poly- crystalline PV modules.
Berjaya Solar has submitted a proposal to develop the Solar PV power plant to the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry.
Pending and subject to approval of the Feed-in Tariff policy and the project, Berjaya Solar is expected to commence development of the Solar PV power plant in the second half of this year; to be commissioned by 2011.
“The plant will be developed over a 50-ha site, and is capable of generating power to supply electricity to 3,000 homes. The power generated will be connected to the national grid to supply electricity nationwide,” BCorp said.
