Solarvest Secures RM89.5 Million Contract for 36MW Perlis Solar Project

18 March 2026

KUALA LUMPUR: Regional provider of clean energy solutions, Solarvest Holdings Berhad (“Solarvest” or “the Group”), today announced its involvement in the development of a 36 MWac solar project under Malaysia’s Fifth Large Scale Solar Programme (“LSS5+”), in partnership with Jubli Pasifik Sdn. Bhd. (“Jubli Pasifik”).

The Group has today signed an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (“EPCC”) contract with Jubli Pasifik, valued at RM89.5 million. Under this agreement, Solarvest has been appointed as the turnkey EPCC partner for the 36 MWac LSS5+ project located in Kangar, Perlis.

The solar farm will utilise high-efficiency Tier One N-Type photovoltaic modules combined with state-of-the-art inverter technology, designed to maximise energy yield and operational efficiency. The project will leverage advanced engineering design and system optimisation, including detailed yield modelling and system configuration tailored specifically to Malaysia’s tropical climate, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability.

Delivery of the project will be managed by Solarvest’s team of trained and certified installers, adhering to rigorous engineering standards and installation protocols to maintain high levels of construction quality and operational safety. Disciplined project management processes will be employed to uphold system integrity throughout the entire lifecycle of the installation.

Scheduled for commercial operation on 26 February 2028, the project is expected to produce approximately 68,550 MWh of clean energy annually, offsetting around 53,058 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. This will contribute significantly to Malaysia’s renewable energy targets and decarbonisation efforts.

Following commissioning, the operation of this LSS5+ plant will be supported by an AI-powered smart monitoring system and digital performance analytics, enabling real-time system visibility and predictive operational insights. The monitoring platform features automated alert mechanisms to facilitate early detection of anomalies, rapid response to operational issues, and proactive maintenance, minimising downtime. These measures will optimise long-term system performance and reliability, ensuring stable energy generation throughout the project’s expected operational lifespan of 20 to 25 years, while maximising clean energy output.

Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Solarvest, Dato’ Davis Chong Chun Shiong, said, “As Southeast Asia accelerates its transition towards clean energy, the importance of technology-driven renewable infrastructure will become increasingly vital in shaping a sustainable energy future. At Solarvest, we are dedicated to advancing innovative clean energy solutions that combine high-efficiency solar technologies, digital intelligence, and integrated energy systems."

He added,“Looking ahead, we see substantial opportunities to further incorporate emerging technologies such as battery energy storage, AI-enabled performance optimisation, and next-generation energy management systems to support Malaysia’s transition to a smarter, more resilient energy ecosystem.”

This project further strengthens Solarvest’s expanding orderbook, which now stands at RM1.6 billion. Moving forward, Solarvest will continue to advance Malaysia’s renewable energy sector, leveraging its technical expertise and operational excellence to promote sustainable growth and deliver meaningful benefits to communities, the economy, and the environment.
