Founder Group Secures EPC Contract for a Key Malaysian solar plant
Founder Group has been awarded a significant engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPC) contract worth RM10 million (approximately US$2.3 million) for a new 30MW solar power plant in Malaysia. This achievement marks another step forward for the company in Southeast Asia’s burgeoning renewable energy sector.
Project Scope and Details of the Malaysian solar plant
The contract involves the comprehensive development of a 29.99 MWac solar facility in Malaysia’s northern state of Kedah, a region recognized for its high renewable energy potential. As the EPC contractor, Founder Group will be responsible for the entire project lifecycle, from design and procurement of materials to construction and final commissioning.
Key details of the project include:
* Contract Value: RM10 million (approx. US$2.3 million)
* Project Capacity: 30MW
* Location: Kedah, Malaysia
* Scope: Full Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPC)
Executing a project of this scale requires a deep understanding of the entire solar panel manufacturing process and the critical raw materials involved to ensure efficiency and longevity.
Expanding Footprint in a Growing Malaysian solar plant Market
This 30MW project is a testament to Founder Group’s expanding presence and capabilities within the Malaysian solar market. The company has been actively securing projects that contribute to the nation’s clean energy targets.
