Gentari, via its affiliate Gentari Renewables Sdn Bhd (formerly known as PETRONAS Power Sdn Bhd), has entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with TotalEnergies EP Asia Pacific Pte Ltd as part of decarbonisation efforts for assets with shared interest between their respective parent companies within Asia Pacific region.
The signing ceremony was held on the sidelines of the Energy Asia conference – an event that brings together energy professionals, industry captains and policymakers to advance Asia’s Net-Zero Ambitions through actionable solutions for a just and responsible energy transition.
To demonstrate prompt tangible progress on this SCA, Gentari via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gentari Renewables Australia Pty Ltd, and TotalEnergies EP Australia will together develop the 100 MW Pleasant Hills Solar Project near Roma in Queensland.
Pleasant Hills Solar Project is a solar development to supply electricity to Gladstone LNG’s gas processing facility.
This is the first of several Gladstone LNG assets identified for decarbonisation as part of its Emissions Reduction Roadmap. Currently, Gentari’s parent company PETRONAS and TotalEnergies each indirectly hold an equal 27.5% stake in the Gladstone LNG project.
“To achieve our joint decarbonisation goals, it is critical to harness all our capabilities, capacity and resources efficiently. This includes optimising our existing partnerships and working to decarbonise our own business entities. Gentari’s latest partnership with TotalEnergies therefore, will provide a new momentum in our net-zero efforts, and to build the right ecosystem for growth in clean energy and net zero solutions,” commented Sushil Purohit, CEO of Gentari.
