INTRODUCTION OF CENTRALISED SOLAR PARK UNDER
THE NETR - STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIA’S
CENTRALISED SOLAR PARK INITIATIVE
On August 29, 2023, the Prime Minister of Malaysia unveiled the National Energy
Transition Roadmap (NETR), a detailed plan aimed at transforming the country’s
energy infrastructure. As Malaysia responds to the global demand for cleaner
energy, the NETR is designed to accelerate the transition through a framework known
as Responsible Transition. A critical component of this initiative is the Centralised
Solar Park (CSP), a key project within the Renewable Energy lever that aims to
increase the country’s solar energy capacity significantly.
The CSP project, with a planned capacity of 500MWac, will involve the development
of five ground-mounted solar power facilities across Peninsular Malaysia. Each of
these sites will house a 100MW capacity solar plant designed to contribute to a more
sustainable energy supply in Malaysia. The project is expected to deliver measurable
environmental benefits by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 95,000 tons annually
for 25 years, equivalent to removing approximately 21,000 cars from the roads each
year.
