## English

* **Malaysia's RE contribution**: Gentari Sdn Bhd expects Malaysia to contribute **10-20% of its total renewable energy capacity** over the next 5-10 years, up from less than 3% currently
* **Global portfolio**: Gentari has accumulated **9.1 GW of installed and under-construction RE capacity** globally, with approximately 80% in solar
* **Current Malaysia capacity**: 257 MW operational plus a **150 MWp Large-Scale Solar 5 (LSS5)** project in Kuala Muda, Kedah expected online in 2027
* **Data centre demand driver**: TNB projects data centres will require **at least 5 GW of capacity by 2030**, creating massive demand for green electricity via the CRESS scheme
* **Policy enablers**: Malaysia's supportive frameworks — CRESS, CREAM, Solar ATAP, and the utility-scale BESS programme — are enabling Gentari to expand domestic projects
* **Gebeng solar farm**: Gentari's 10 MW plant in Gebeng, Pahang (commissioned January 2014) has generated **over 125 million kWh**, reducing approximately 83,745 tonnes of CO₂
* **Repurposing strategy**: With the FiT contract expiring in ~8 years, Gentari plans to repurpose the Gebeng site under newer policy frameworks like CRESS
* **Grid bottleneck**: Grid capacity remains the most pressing constraint; TNB's **RM43 billion grid modernisation (2025-2027)** is expected to enable greater RE penetration
