Meta Bright Group Bhd (Meta Bright) announced that Kemaman Municipal Council (MPK) has accepted its proposal for a 407.8 kWp Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system at Kijal Mall, Terengganu.
In a statement, the group said it will design, construct, install, commission, operate and maintain the Solar PV system at the said premise, which is owned by MPK.
It added MPK will specify which buildings and premises will be supplied with renewable energy generated by the installation for which the group will charge RM0.36 per kilowatt of solar energy usage under the 20-year Supply Agreement of Renewable Energy (SARE) that commences upon operation of the system.
Calendar year to-date, post MPK’s acceptance, Meta Bright’s orderbook relating to sustainable renewable energy solutions stands at 3.81 MW, a 12% increase on total orderbook size.
Meta Bright Corporate and Strategic Planning executive director Derek Phang Kiew Lim expressed thrill for the collaboration with MPK for the solar PV installation at Kijal Mall.
“(This is a) breakthrough project for the group in helping the local government sector achieve their sustainable development and ESG goals.
“On behalf of the group, I am grateful for the the local council’s decision to put their trust in us, as we feel that our proposal is both innovative and also cost-effective, based on our technical expertise and track record of delivering on-time and in-full.
“Further studies will be conducted to ensure its feasibilty, and once the project is confirmed, the team will diligently work towards delivering on our promises within the deadline agreed upon with the MPK,” he said today (Jan 3).
Phang assured that partnering with the group through its zero-capex program is a win-win for the council as they can focus on continuing to deliver the best for the community while benefitting from renewable energy cost savings without up-front impact to their local budgets.
“We look forward to working with other local councils across Malaysia over the coming months and years ahead,” he said.
He added: “This 20-year partnership with MPK is a testament to our long-term commitment and belief in the transformative power of renewable energy. It is a privilege to be at the forefront of change for the better, and I am confident that this is just the beginning of a series of impactful initiatives by Meta Bright group.”
