A new 500MW hybrid solar power plant will be developed in Segamat, Johor

Malaysia is moving towards clean energy generation rapidly...

Three parties – UEM Group Berhad through UEM Lestra Berhad, along with HEXA Renewables Malaysia Sdn Bhd and ITRAMAS Corporation Sdn Bhd – together announced they have made progress to develop a one-gigawatt (1GW) hybrid solar power plant. The announcement of the 1GW plant was made back in July 2023 and will be located at a renewable energy industrial park.


The first step of the full realisation of the plant is the announcement of a 500-megawatt(MW) hybrid solar power plant, which will be located in Segamat, Johor. Part of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), the 1GW plant is a key flagship venture of the roadmap.

Present and signing on behalf of UEM Lestra was its Chairman and Managing Director of UEM Group, Dato’ Mohd Izani Ghani while HEXA Renewables was represented by its CEO, Vince Choi and ITRAMAS by its Group Managing Director, Lee Choo Boo.

Dato’ Mohd Izani said, “We’re off to a good start in realising this strategic and high-value national flagship energy transition project. In addition to formalising our partnerships with HEXA Renewables and ITRAMAS, we have also secured a suitable land in Segamat, Johor that will house the 500MW hybrid solar power plant. In addition, we will be working with the Government on the details of the Third Party Access (TPA) framework that will enable this project to go live.”

The project has attracted several foreign investors, including Blueleaf Energy, China Machinery Engineering Wuxi Co. Ltd, and Hexa Renewables. The investors are in discussion on the participation through multiple potential roles including collaborating on project development, financing (including equity investments) and commercialisation (including offtake of green electricity).

In regard to the roles of the three companies, EM Lestra and HEXA Renewables will form a joint venture company (JV) known as, Lestra Hexa JV Sdn Bhd, an entity that is 51%-owned by UEM Lestra and the remaining 49% by HEXA Renewables to manage the development. Meanwhile, ITRAMAS, Malaysia’s largest vertically integrated solar plant developer, will provide technical services in developing a complete EPCC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning) package for Lestra Hexa JV.

When asked about the remaining 500MW, Dato’ Mohd Izani added that discussions between UEM Lestra and its other partners are ongoing, and an update will be provided soon.

TLDR: Rapid avdancement and tech competition in new clean energy, EV have paved the way for much more cheaper solar panel, EVs. PAving the way for clean renewable energy to be a viable option for power generation

i thought last time got 1 ktard energy expert say that malaysia actually not a good country to do solar because a lot of clouds and rain?

Last time the argument probably correct when compared to the cost of solar.

the price of solar have come down 80-85% the last 10 years...

will that argument still make sense now?

even much colder climate EU country like Germany is going big on solar now

If you want to go green the prospect is definitely better than other sources like wind, wave, etc.

Part of the tradeoff from being protected from natural disasters.

investment on batteries when?

For local or sinkie use

Malam nanti macam mana?

use hydrowater ~
+ battery.

Gurun Kedah is okay,

Not much rain there

the tech developed quite nicely

new transparent type and newer sodium battery

of course new gen gona be costly

Tipu, China Jiko Solar had closed 3 plant in Malaysia. No order, produce for who?

Sabah or Sarawak got abundance green energy lay waste due to no place to store it . How much energy is it , if connect to west Mal yr tnb bill can go down 10 cent but due to plotikus thing no one want to do this .

around SP/GURUN there got 1 small down named Bukit Selambau.

From there until Kuala Ketil, Baling got 2-3 Solar Farm.

even got china company come invest yo.

Apatu hybrid solar plant? Solar + normal fossil fuel based plant?

it is.

Compare other region.

our Sun Peak Hour = 3.5~4,
In US there are region can reach 7.5


so by using same panel, same tech. they can produce 100% more.
( count in the Summer efficient factor, temp higher 25c = decrease in effcient )


BUT. BUT

Solar Enery is still free money.

get RM3.5 free money is lower than RM7

but still free money

Which /ktard so noob?

Since government chop off all the tree at roadside, please built the solar all above the road…then we will have a lot solar energy….somemore can cover the sun

Solar + Energy Storage

Generation and Storage

not me, But that /ktart is not noob.
Malaysia is really not the best place for solar compare other region in the world.

Cloudy + Rain + All Summer.

BUT, with cheap solar panel, as long as you could get SUN
you win

What Malaysia best at btw?
