This indigenous supply of renewable energy, especially solar, can provide better energy security for Malaysia than fossil fuels. With Malaysia’s massive resource potential, solar energy can meet the bulk of the country’s growing electricity demand.
Hybrid solar power projects like the one in Johor have the potential to stabilize and potentially reduce electricity prices. While specific details on consumer impact are yet to be announced, competitive Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) rates, typically ranging from MYR 0.1768 to 0.1970 per kWh (approximately USD 0.0419 to 0.0466), are promising.
A gradual increase in solar power could also strengthen affordability in Malaysia’s power sector, insulating the country from the risk of rising electricity tariffs, which may be caused by fossil fuel price volatility.
While recognising the crucial role of energy storage for a stable and reliable grid, Peninsular Malaysia’s grid stability is expected to remain controlled with increased solar power penetration up to the recommended 20% level.
This analysis shows that Peninsular Malaysia can potentially benefit from boosting solar power generation, as it can lower and stabilise electricity tariffs, not only in Peninsular Malaysia but also in Sabah. This can help Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah bring their tariffs closer to Sarawak’s.
The programme is broken into four projects with a capacity of 100mw/400mwh each and includes the design, installation and operation of BESS at various sites in Peninsular Malaysia. Each project must start operations by 2026 and is expected to have commercial operations spanning over a period of 15 years.
