In a significant move towards sustainable energy practices, Malakoff Corporation Berhad, through its subsidiary Malakoff Radiance Sdn Bhd, has inked a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) with Gas Malaysia Berhad. The agreement encompasses the development, operation, and maintenance of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at three Gas Malaysia sites: Gas Malaysia Headquarters in Shah Alam, Selangor, Southern Regional Office in Pusar Gudang, Pahang, and Eastern Regional Office in Gebeng, Kuantan.
In addition to the solar initiatives, Malakoff will also be installing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at Gas Malaysia HQ and Gas Malaysia’s Jalan Gurney location in Kuala Lumpur.
