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).

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.”

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.”

8 GW of installed and under construction renewable energy capacity globally
across Malaysia, India and Australia.
