Selangor State corporate arm, Menteri Besar Selangor has forged a partnership with Petronas-owned Gentari in efforts to bolster the state’s solar energy and electric vehicle infrastructure.
In a statement, MBI said the joint effort is to tap into Selangor’s renewable energy potential, with the ambitious goal of achieving 1 gigawatt (GW) in renewable energy capacity by 2030. The partnership will see the immediate deployment of 300 megawatts of diverse solar initiatives over the next three years.
The collaboration is also committed to advancing green mobility by building a comprehensive network of EV charging points across the state to support EV adoption.
MBI is looking to assist Selangor in achieving its 10,000 EV charging points target by 2025, with hubs in strategic locations like Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya planned within a year.
It aligns with Selangor’s green agenda, including electrifying 40 percent of the state government’s vehicle fleet. There are also plans to explore the development of a hydrogen economy in the state.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the partnership with Gentari is a clear testament to the state’s unwavering commitment to transitioning towards sustainable and green energy solutions.
