Rising Costs Threaten Malaysia's Large-Scale Solar Projects
English
- Project Delays Expected: UOBKayHian anticipates that major initiatives like CRESS and LSS6 may face power purchase agreement (PPA) delays due to surging project costs.
- Cost Impact: Every $0.01/W increase in solar module prices adds approximately MYR 4 million ($1 million) to the cost of a 100MW project.
- China's VAT Export Rebate Changes: China has eliminated the 9% VAT export rebate for PV products and reduced battery rebates from 9% to 6%, with full abolition for batteries set for January 2027.
- Market Resilience: LSS5 and LSS5+ projects remain relatively stable as current tender pricing already accounts for higher module costs ($0.12–$0.13/W).
- EPCC Outlook: Despite price volatility, EPCC firms are mitigating risks through strategic inventory management and cost pass-through agreements.
- LSS6 Tender: The Energy Commission is expected to initiate the LSS6 tender in Q1 2026, targeting an allocation of 2GW with mandatory BESS requirements.
- Market Opportunity: Total EPCC contract opportunities in Malaysia are projected to reach MYR 13 billion to MYR 23 billion over the next five years.

- 项目延期预期: 大华继显(UOBKayHian)指出,受成本上升影响,马来西亚的 CRESS 和 LSS6 等大型太阳能项目在签署购电协议(PPA)时可能面临延期。
- 成本影响: 太阳能组件价格每上涨 $0.01/W,100MW 项目的成本将增加约 400 万令吉(100 万美元)。
- 中国出口退税调整: 中国已取消光伏产品的 9% 增值税出口退税,并将电池产品的退税率从 9% 下调至 6%,且计划在 2027 年 1 月全面取消电池退税。
- 市场韧性: LSS5 和 LSS5+ 项目预计受影响较小,因其投标定价已预留了较高的组件成本空间($0.12–$0.13/W)。
- EPCC 前景: 尽管价格波动,但工程、采购、施工及调试(EPCC)承包商正通过战略性库存管理和成本转嫁协议来缓解风险。
- LSS6 招标: 预计马来西亚能源委员会将在 2026 年第一季度启动 LSS6 招标,预计容量为 2GW,并强制要求配备电池储能系统(BESS)。
- 市场机遇: 未来五年,马来西亚的 EPCC 合同总额预计将达到 130 亿至 230 亿令吉。
