Kinergy Advancement Bhd’s (KAB) wholly owned subsidiary, KAB Energy Holdings Sdn Bhd (KABEH), has partnered with Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak (PKNPk) to develop 29 potential renewable energy projects in Perak, with a combined capacity of over 1,800 megawatts (MW).

In a joint statement, both parties announced their collaboration to identify, evaluate, and develop renewable energy initiatives, leveraging KAB’s technical expertise to drive innovation in the sector.

The initiative aligns with Perak Sejahtera 2030’s Flagship 12: Water Resources and Renewable Energy, aiming to enhance energy resilience within the state while contributing to Malaysia’s broader sustainability and renewable energy goals.

He noted that 50MW of power generation capacity projects are already in the pipeline, reinforcing Perak’s role as a key player in Malaysia’s clean energy transition.

“By partnering with PKNPk, we can accelerate the development of sustainable energy infrastructure, strengthening Perak’s position in Malaysia’s renewable energy sector. This collaboration will bring transformative benefits at both state and national levels,” Lai stated.

Meanwhile, PKNPk chief executive Datuk Redza Rafiq Abdul Razak underscored the need for firm, flexible, and renewable power solutions, particularly as the clean energy transition gains momentum. He expressed confidence that KABEH’s expertise, combined with PKNPk’s role in state development and energy policy, would unlock Perak’s hydropower and solar energy potential.

This strategic collaboration is expected to significantly contribute to Malaysia’s renewable energy ambitions while reinforcing Perak’s commitment to sustainable development.
