KUALA LUMPUR: Samaiden Group Bhd's wholly-owned Samaiden Sdn Bhd and its consortium member JS Solar Sdn Bhd have won a contract worth RM100 million from NUR Renewables Sdn Bhd to develop a solar power plant at Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) in Kedah.
Samaiden group managing director Chow Pui Hee said the latest engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract is a testament to the company's successful collaboration with JS Solar.
"This project is more than an engineering feat. It's a step towards a sustainable future. It underscores our proven expertise and solidifies our unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions in the renewable energy sector," he said in a statement.
NUR, a specialist in electricity generation, transmission, distribution and retail in Malaysia, is an independent power utility with exclusive rights in KHTP.
The project, which involves the development of a ground-mounted 50 megawatts (MWac) solar power plant (first phase), is to supply green energy to all customers located at KHTP.
This is the first phase in NUR's ambitious 500MWac solar project, which it plans to develop in collaboration with UEM Lestra Bhd, a green energy arm of UEM Group.
JS Solar managing director Johnson Chai said the collaboration with Samaiden will create synergy between its teams.
Chai said the joint efforts not only signify a business milestone but also reflect its shared vision for a greener, more sustainable Malaysia.
"Fuelled by this success, we are more energised than ever to embark on future ventures, aiming to secure and successfully execute more projects that champion sustainability in the renewable energy domain," said Chai.
