EVE Energy, together with project partners, has signed a contract to develop a large-scale solar-plus-storage system at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), marking the company’s first entry into Malaysia’s critical transport infrastructure energy sector.
The project comprises a 10 MW ground-mounted solar photovoltaic plant integrated with a 36 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). It represents EVE Energy’s first AC/DC integrated energy storage deployment in Malaysia and will utilise the company’s 628 Ah energy storage batteries. The system also includes a 5 MWh highly integrated storage solution to support grid connection, peak shaving and frequency regulation.
Once operational in 2027, the solar-plus-storage system will supply stable renewable electricity to KLIA’s main terminal, operating alongside an existing 36 MWp solar farm at the airport. The installation is designed to enhance energy reliability for airport operations while reducing dependence on grid-supplied power.
The project aligns with Malaysia National Energy Transition Roadmap and the country’s carbon reduction targets. It is expected to reduce approximately 42,006 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, supporting KLIA’s objective to increase renewable energy usage by 2030 and progress toward net-zero emissions.
