AFRY Appointed Owner Engineer For 36 MW Solar PV And 10 MW BESS Project At KLIA, Malaysia

AFRY has been selected by Cenergi Aeropolis Renewable Energy Sdn Bhd (CARE) to act as Owner’s Engineer for a 36 MWp (30 MWac) solar photovoltaic plant combined with a 10 MW / 40 MWh battery energy storage system in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. This project marks an important step in the country’s shift toward cleaner and more reliable energy solutions, especially through the use of solar power integrated with storage.

The project is located within the KLIA Aeropolis zone and will supply renewable electricity directly to Kuala Lumpur International Airport under the Solar for Self-Consumption program. It is expected to generate around 46 GWh of clean energy every year and reduce about 35,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This reduction is comparable to removing nearly 8,000 vehicles from the roads or providing electricity to more than 13,000 homes.

The addition of a battery energy storage system will help improve energy reliability and ensure stable power supply, making it one of the early large-scale solar projects in Malaysia with integrated storage for self-consumption.

As Owner’s Engineer, AFRY will support the project across all stages, including tender assistance, engineering design review, project management, construction supervision, and battery system testing and commissioning.

The company brings strong global experience in solar and energy storage, with over 30 years in solar projects and more than 20 years in battery storage. AFRY has worked on hundreds of projects worldwide, supporting the development of sustainable and efficient energy systems across different regions.
