Masdar, Sarawak Energy, Gentari Plan Floating Solar

12 Nov 2024 CW Team

Masdar, Sarawak Energy, and Gentari have announced plans to collaborate on a groundbreaking floating solar project at the Murum Reservoir in Malaysia. This partnership aims to harness the potential of floating solar technology to generate renewable energy while addressing land scarcity issues. The project will be one of the first large-scale floating solar ventures in Malaysia and is expected to contribute significantly to the country's renewable energy goals.

The floating solar panels will be installed on the reservoir’s surface, utilizing its vast, underutilized water body area to generate electricity. This innovative approach could complement existing renewable energy efforts and help reduce dependence on traditional power sources. Malaysia, like many countries in Southeast Asia, has been exploring renewable energy alternatives to meet its growing energy demand while also fulfilling its climate commitments.

The three companies are optimistic about the potential for floating solar, which is gaining traction globally due to its ability to reduce land use while providing high efficiency in power generation. As part of their long-term sustainability strategy, this initiative aligns with Malaysia's national goals to increase the share of renewable energy in its electricity mix.
