Eastern Pacific Industrial Corp Bhd (EPIC) is entering Malaysia’s solar energy market via its subsidiary, EPIC Solar Sdn Bhd (ESSB), with a firm dedication to promoting the nation’s renewable energy objectives.
Dr. Mamad Puteh, chairman of ESSB, announced that the company’s expansion aligns with Malaysia’s objective of reaching 40% renewable energy usage by 2035. Emphasizing their proactive strategy, Dr. Mamad highlighted ESSB’s pioneering efforts in solar projects on the East Coast.
A significant milestone for ESSB is the launch of a 28-hectare solar farm in Teluk Kalong, Terengganu, which has a capacity of up to 18.5 megawatts (MW). This facility is set to be a key contributor to Malaysia’s renewable energy grid, supplying solar energy directly to Tenaga Nasional Bhd through the national grid for 21 years, until 2039.
The strategic placement of the Teluk Kalong solar farm not only boosts regional energy security but also demonstrates EPIC’s dedication to sustainability and technological progress in the area. Through solar energy utilization, EPIC aims to lower carbon emissions and enhance environmental stewardship in Malaysia.
EPIC’s ambitious plans highlight its commitment to leading renewable energy solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. The expansion of ESSB’s network is a crucial step toward fulfilling Malaysia’s renewable energy targets, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future for the nation.
