VCI Energy, a renewable energy platform managed by VCI Global, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with DPS Energy, a subsidiary of DPS Resources, to develop a utility-scale solar photovoltaic project of up to 250 MW in Malacca, Malaysia. The project is intended to supply renewable power to data centres, utilities, and industrial users under long-term power purchase agreements.
The solar platform will be developed on approximately 600 acres of land and is designed to support up to 250 MW of installed capacity. Annual electricity generation is estimated at around 350–450 GWh, subject to final system design and grid conditions. The project is also being structured to allow future integration of battery energy storage systems.
The development aligns with Malaysia’s strategy to position itself as a regional hub for hyperscale data centres and AI infrastructure, while increasing the share of renewable energy in the national power mix. Malaysia has set targets to raise renewable energy capacity to 31 per cent by 2025 and 40 per cent by 2035, driving demand for large-scale clean energy projects to support digital and industrial growth.
