PMB Tech gets more energy to power expansion


According to CEO Koon Poh Ming (pic), the price of metallic silicon has risen to a record high, as the commodity market has reacted positively to the fast recovery of the world economy from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

KUCHING: PMB Technology Bhd has secured an additional supply of 25-megawatt (MW) electricity from Syarikat Sesco Bhd to power the production expansion of its metallic silicon plant in Samalaju Industrial Park in Bintulu, Sarawak.

Its wholly-owned subsidiary PMB Silicon Sdn Bhd entered into a legally binding term sheet with SESCo last week, which would be formalised with an agreement later to revise the amended and restated power purchase agreement to, inter alia, increase the existing supply of electricity at its metallic silicon plant from 104MW to 129MW.
