Leader Energy (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd (LESSB), a subsidiary of Leader Energy Group Bhd, has signed a 30-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Sarawak Energy Bhd, via its retail arm Syarikat SESCO Berhad (SESCO), for the development of a 100 MW large-scale solar farm in Tanjung Manis, Sarawak. The project is being implemented in collaboration with Pusaka Capital Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC), and Smartgen Energy Sdn Bhd.
Scheduled for completion by December 2027, the project will supply renewable power to SESCO, advancing Sarawak’s target of a low-carbon, sustainable energy mix. Leader Energy described the initiative as a key milestone for both the company and the state, highlighting its focus on capability transfer, local partnerships, and long-term value creation in Tanjung Manis.
Sarawak Energy, which aims to reach 10 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and 15 GW by 2035, continues to expand its solar portfolio, targeting 1,500 MW by 2030. The new Tanjung Manis project supports this roadmap and aligns with Leader Energy’s Vision 2030 to achieve net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions while strengthening Sarawak’s role as a clean-energy hub in Malaysia.
