PETALING JAYA: Edra Energy Sdn Bhd, a company that used to be under 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) indirectly, managed to garner a AA3 rating with a stable outlook for a Islamic bond issue to build a power plant.

The rating for the RM5.28bil Islamic debt issue came amidst concerns that the technology used in the construction of the gas fired power plant, with a capacity of 2,242 MW, was untested.
