KERIAN: Property developer MK Land Holdings Bhd
is planning to have more solar farms in northern Peninsular Malaysia, especially Kedah, following the success of its first renewable energy project, the 10.95 megawatt (MW) large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in Kerian, Perak.
Solar Citra Sdn Bhd (SCSB) director Kamarulzaman Abu Bakar said the pilot project in Lembah Beriah, Kerian has started supplying solar power to Tenaga Nasional Bhd since June and projects a profit of almost RM400,000 a month.
"Based on the success in Lembah Beriah, SCSB was selected on Aug 8 by the Energy Commission to be a solar energy producer under the Corporate Green Power Programme (GCPP) in Kulim, Kedah.
"SCSB, together with Total Energies Renewables SAS, was awarded a 30 MW quota for a 52-hectare farm, that is three times the size of Lembah Beriah, for operations commencing in 2025,” he said at a press conference here today.
