  • Asset Stranding Risk: Malaysia’s largest independent power producer (IPP), Malakoff Corporation, warns that solar assets may become "stranded" due to financing mismatches and rising capital costs.
  • Financing Challenges: A critical issue is the misalignment between the short tenures of current renewable energy project financing and the long-term nature of solar assets.
  • Operational Realities: While Malaysia reached nearly 5.8 GW of solar capacity by 2025, irradiance inconsistencies limit actual efficiency to between 10% and 20%.
  • Market Volatility: Increased price volatility for photovoltaic modules (rising up to 30% in months), insurance, and equipment has rendered short-term project cost estimations unreliable.
  • Supply Chain Delays: Lead times for essential infrastructure, such as transformers required for clean energy transmission, are lengthening globally.
  • Investment Perspective: CIMB Investment Bank suggests that capital markets can offer 20-25 year tenures, provided there is strong visibility of cash flows and solid contractual obligations.
