## English

* **Gentari Sdn Bhd** (Petronas' clean energy arm) plans to repurpose its pioneering 10 MW Gebeng Industrial Area solar farm in Kuantan, Pahang, after its Feed-in Tariff (FiT) contract expires in approximately eight years
* **Commissioned in January 2014** under Malaysia's FiT mechanism, the facility comprises 29,960 solar modules spanning 50,569 square metres
* **Cumulative output**: Over 125 million kWh of clean electricity generated to date — equivalent to reducing 83,745 tonnes of CO₂ and powering ~44,147 homes annually
* **Future plans** include exploring repurposing under newer policy frameworks such as the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) and future government programmes
* **Policy landscape**: Key frameworks driving Malaysia's RE transition include CRESS, CREAM (Community Renewable Energy Aggregation Mechanism), Solar ATAP, and the Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage System Programme
* **Data centre demand** is a major growth driver — TNB indicates data centres could require at least 5 GW of capacity by 2030
* **Grid modernisation**: TNB is committing RM43 billion to upgrade Malaysia's grid infrastructure (2025–2027) to address capacity constraints
* **Gentari's Malaysia RE portfolio**: 257 MW currently installed, with a 150 MWp facility in Kuala Muda, Kedah under LSS5 in the pipeline
* **Global RE capacity**: 9.1 GW total (India 7.5 GW, Australia 1 GW), with Malaysia's share targeted to grow to 10%–20% of Gentari's total capacity
* **Floating solar** feasibility study ongoing at Murum Hydroelectric Plant reservoir in Sarawak, in partnership with Masdar and Sarawak Energy

* **Gentari Sdn Bhd**（Petronas清洁能源部门）计划在购电合约（FiT）约八年后到期时，改造其位于彭亨州关丹格宾工业区的先驱性10兆瓦太阳能发电场
* **2014年1月投运**，该设施在马来西亚FiT机制下建成，拥有29,960块太阳能板，占地50,569平方米
* **累计发电量**：至今已产生超过1.25亿千瓦时清洁电力——相当于减少83,745吨二氧化碳排放，每年为约44,147户家庭供电
* **未来规划**包括探索在企业可再生能源供应计划（CRESS）等新政策框架下进行改造
* **政策环境**：推动马来西亚可再生能源转型的关键框架包括CRESS、CREAM（社区可再生能源聚合机制）、Solar ATAP和公用事业级电池储能系统计划
* **数据中心需求**是主要增长驱动力——TNB表示到2030年数据中心可能需要至少5吉瓦的电力容量
* **电网现代化**：TNB承诺投入430亿令吉用于2025-2027年马来西亚电网升级，以解决容量瓶颈
* **Gentari马来西亚可再生能源组合**：目前装机257兆瓦，另有吉打州瓜拉慕达150兆瓦峰值LSS5项目在建
* **全球可再生能源容量**：总计9.1吉瓦（印度7.5吉瓦、澳大利亚1吉瓦），马来西亚份额目标增长至Gentari总容量的10%-20%
* **浮动太阳能**：与Masdar和砂拉越能源合作，在砂拉越Murum水电站水库进行可行性研究
