KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – 8 May 2025
– Clean energy solutions provider Gentari, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Gentari Renewables Sdn Bhd, has signed
landmark Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with TM to power
six key TM facilities.
These PPAs are part of an
ongoing collaboration between TM and PETRONAS which recently
expanded into a new tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
between TM, PETRONAS and Gentari to drive the decarbonisation of
TM’s assets in Malaysia. The PPAs underscore Gentari's
focus on driving progress in the adoption of renewable energy in
Malaysia’s Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sector and
aligns with TM’s agenda to integrate sustainability into
its operations and achieve long-term energy cost savings.
Under
the agreements, Gentari will design, install and operate solar
energy systems at TM facilities, supplying approximately 4.3 MWp
of solar power. These systems are estimated to generate 4.82 GWh
of capacity annually and reduce about 3,655,251 tonnes of carbon
dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). This initiative contributes to
TM’s decarbonisation journey by enabling clean energy to
power its key operations in six locations including TM’s
data centres in Cyberjaya and Iskandar Puteri, the TM R&D
Complex in Cyberjaya, TM Stesen Kabel Dasar Laut (SKDL) in Mersing
and Multimedia University campuses in Cyberjaya and Melaka.
The
deployment at TM’s university campuses is part of a broader
green campus initiative adopted by several learning institutions
in Malaysia. Gentari has already completed solar power
installations for Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) and Institut
Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP).
Low Kian Min,
Gentari’s Chief Renewables Officer commented, “This
PPA marks a significant milestone, beyond advancing TM’s
decarbonisation goals and growing Gentari’s presence in
Malaysia’s renewable energy market. By delivering impactful
tailored solutions in the C&I segment for diverse industries,
this effort also brings us closer to Malaysia’s net zero
goals and paves the way for more partnerships, in line with
Gentari’s vision to become Asia Pacific’s most
valued clean energy solutions partner by 2030. With TM, we look
forward to growing our collaboration beyond C&I applications
in Malaysia and across the region.”
Nor Fadhilah
Mohd Ali, TM’s Chief Corporate Officer said, “This
collaboration with Gentari provides TM access to the latest green
energy technologies, while fostering knowledge sharing and
upskilling opportunities for TM’s employees in sustainable
best practices. This paves the way for TM's aspiration
towards Net Zero 2050, reinforcing our sustainability objectives
to transition to renewable energy and enhance our resilience in
energy security management. This is a pivotal part of our Digital
Powerhouse aspirations, aligning our business with what is best
for society and contributing to a better future for
all.”
To date, Gentari has achieved 8 GW of
installed and under construction renewable energy capacity
globally across Malaysia, India and Australia.
