The Energy Commission is conducting a second competitive bidding process for companies to build large scale solar (LSS) photovoltaic (PV) plants in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah\/ Labuan.<\/p>\n
It announces the plants will be connected to the grid and sell their energy to Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) or the Sabah Electricity Board (SESB) under a solar power purchase agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe LSS capacity to be tendered will be from one to 30 megawatt (MWac) with a target aggregate capacity of 360MWac in Peninsular Malaysia and 100MWac in Sabah\/Labuan, which is expected to be commissioned by in 2019 to 2020,\u201d it said. The EC will also announce the injection points for the connections to the grid.<\/p>\n
The Energy Commission has also just published the \u2018Energy Statistics Handbook 2016\u2019, a comprehensive and handy guide which summarises key energy data and statistics in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the commission says the handbook, consisting of 10 sections, outlines the mechanism of energy in Malaysia, as well as provides an overview of trend changes over the years.<\/p>\n
“From the production of primary energy supply, to how the energy supply is transformed, and finally, how the energy is consumed by various end-users (the Handbook contains it all).<\/p>\n
“It also includes energy prices, energy indicators, as well as the energy balance tables as of 2014,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
The handbook also covers Malaysia\u2019s electricity and piped gas supply performance for 2015.<\/p>\n
The data will be updated annually and disseminated to the public through its publication every year.<\/p>\n
“It serves as a general reference for policy makers, public and private organisations, students and the general public.<\/p>\n
The handbook is also available from the commission’s website at http:\/\/www.st.gov.my.<\/p>\n
