Scientex Bhd has selected Solarvest Holdings Bhd for a project that will see the installation of about 21 MW of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across the group’s facilities in Malaysia.
The contract covers 10 manufacturing plants and Scientex’s headquarters. The project is set to start in May 2024 and be completed by January 2025. Once commissioned, the sites will eliminate around 14,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
Scientex has been transitioning to renewable energy (RE) since 2022 as part of its carbon footprint reduction strategy. With the commissioning of the new capacities, more than 80 per cent of the company’s manufacturing sites in Malaysia will use RE with solar systems.
