This project is part of the fourth cycle of the Large-Scale Solar 4 (“LSS4”) programme approved by the Energy Commission and was developed in collaboration with Solarvest Holdings Berhad as the main contractor, providing engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (“EPCC”) solutions, and GoodWe Technologies Co., Ltd.

With a four-year extension of the solar power purchase agreement (“SPPA”), extending the total duration to 25 years compared to the original 21 years for the LSS4 project.”
