Cover story: powering up the solar industry. [Website] (2022)
Abstract
Later in the month, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob introduced a quota of 600mw to cater to those seeking to generate and sell solar energy directly to corporations. The government was also mulling a “solar park” project — similar to the one in Australia — to centralise solar assets in an area with high solar irradiance. This would allow a better sharing of the grid and related infrastructure to improve efficiency.
All this is welcome news to the industry. However, many details have yet to be ironed out in ensuring a smooth progression of Malaysia’s solar industry. This ranges from future project bids to industry policies, as well as steps to address the low take-up rate of the rooftop solar quota among residential consumers and government agencies.
