Malaysia Hits Record Solar Capacity of 5.7 GW as Government Launches Major 2 GW Tender
English
- Record-Breaking Capacity: Malaysia reached a cumulative solar capacity of 5,777 MW by the end of 2025, with approximately 1.4 GW added in that year alone.
- Strategic Frameworks: Total capacity is derived from three primary programs: Large-Scale Solar (LSS) at 2,648 MW, Net Energy Metering (NEM) at 2,747 MW, and the legacy Feed-in Tariff (FiT) at 345 MW.
- LSS6 Launch: The government is initiating the "Large Scale Solar 6" (LSS6) program, the nation’s largest solar tender to date, offering 2,000 MW (2 GW) of new capacity.
- Mandatory Energy Storage: A landmark policy change under LSS6 requires all new projects to integrate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to enhance grid reliability and manage intermittent supply.
- New Transition Programs: Malaysia has transitioned from the NEM scheme to the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Program (ATAP) as of early 2026 to further streamline residential and commercial adoption.
- Future Outlook: Driven by LSS6 and the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS), industry analysts project solar PV capacity will exceed 6.5 GW between 2026 and 2029.

- 装机量创历史新高:截至2025年底,马来西亚累计太阳能装机容量已达到5,777兆瓦(MW),仅2025年一年就新增了约1.4吉瓦(GW)。
- 核心政策框架:总容量主要由三大计划组成:大型太阳能项目(LSS)贡献2,648 MW,净能源计量(NEM)贡献2,747 MW,以及传统的上网电价补贴(FiT)贡献345 MW。
- 启动LSS6招标:政府目前正在启动有史以来规模最大的“大型太阳能6号”(LSS6)招标计划,预计提供2,000 MW(2 GW)的新增装机容量。
- 强制配套储能:LSS6计划引入了重大政策调整,强制要求所有新项目必须集成电池储能系统(BESS),以提高电网稳定性和管理间歇性能源供应。
- 转型新计划:马来西亚已于2026年初从NEM框架转型为“太阳能加速转型行动计划”(ATAP),旨在进一步简化住宅和商业领域的太阳能应用。
- 未来前景:在LSS6和企业可再生能源供应计划(CRESS)的推动下,行业分析预计2026年至2029年间马来西亚太阳能光伏装机量将超过6.5 GW。
