Malaysia's Sarawak Energy Plans 400MW Floating Solar Capacity By 2030.

Sarawak Energy, a Malaysian utility company, plans to install a minimum of 400 megawatts (MW) of floating solar power capacity at its dams by 2030. The company aims to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy from neighboring countries and reduce its reliance on coal. As a major producer of power from hydroelectric dams, Sarawak Energy is expanding into solar capacity and targeting exports to regions like Sabah, Indonesia, Brunei, and Singapore. Construction has already begun on its first 50 MW floating solar unit at the Batang Ai dam, with completion expected by the end of 2024.
