TNB Renewables and TNB Research have signed a Letter of Intent with SolarDuck and Hydro
This signing marks the beginning of a partnership to advance solar energy solutions in Malaysia
and Southeast Asia
- SolarDuck will install a 780kW offshore floating solar (OFS) plant off the coast of
Tioman island in Malaysia as a research project to assess technical and economic
feasibility of OFS in Malaysia. - Installation targeted to be completed by 2025.
- New distributed energy generation methods like OFS will provide additional pathway
for TNB to diversify its RE portfolio and achieve its net zero aspiration. - Hydro contributes with engineering and production of the aluminium profiles which the
solar plant is constructed from. - Tioman island is the starting point of a renewable future for Malaysia, opening a large
potential for OFS in the entire region as OFS is set to become the most affordable
marine energy technology by 2030.
