The Group’s Involvement in Large-Scale Solar Farming
-
Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), which aims to achieve a 70% renewable energy mix by 2050, serves as a guiding framework for the country’s clean energy transition.
-
Aligned with this vision, Sunway Construction Group Berhad (SunCon) is actively contributing to Malaysia’s transition to cleaner energy through renewable energy services such as large-scale solar farms and rooftop solar solutions for commercial and industrial buildings.
-
This is part of SunCon’s steadfast commitment to reducing carbon emissions and supporting SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).
Since 2015, more than 80% of all new energy generation globally has come from renewable sources, primarily solar. This shift highlights a growing commitment to sustainable energy solutions and the urgent need to address the global climate crisis. SunCon’s Sustainable Energy division has achieved a significant milestone by securing an 11.8 MW quota under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) from the Energy Commission. The CGPP Kapar plant, owned by SunCon, is anticipated to be operational starting early 2026 and is expected to generate 14,594 MWh of renewable energy annually, preventing 11,295 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
Beyond CGPP projects, SunCon has also played a key role in delivering solar installations for various commercial, industrial, and institutional clients — with a cumulative capacity of 196,704 kWp. As of 2024, these projects collectively generate 243,274 MWh of clean energy annually, enabling SunCon’s stakeholders to offset 188,294 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
In addition to serving external stakeholders, SunCon owns and operates its own solar system installations at locations including BRT Sunway Line Stations and Depot, as well as several of its commercial and industrial properties. These self-owned installations contribute 4,688 tonnes of CO2 reductions annually.
In total, for the year 2024, SunCon’s contributions across these three key categories — CGPP projects, stakeholder projects, and SunCon’s owned assets — have resulted in the generation of 263,924 MWh of clean energy per year, preventing approximately 204,277 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. This reduction is equivalent to the carbon sequestration capacity of 9.73 million trees, underscoring SunCon’s significant role in advancing Malaysia’s clean energy transition.
At its core, SunCon’s commitment to renewable energy reflects its broader vision of building sustainable communities and creating a lasting environmental impact. Through its expertise as an Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) contractor for large-scale solar power plants and rooftop solar projects, SunCon is shaping Malaysia’s energy landscape. As the world accelerates toward a net zero future, SunCon is demonstrating how construction companies can lead in addressing global sustainability challenges and inspire others to transition to cleaner, greener energy.
