Scientex to deploy large-scale solar PV system

Scientex said that it will deploy the solar PV systems across 10 key manufacturing plants and at its headquarters.

PETALING JAYA: Packaging manufacturer and property developer Scientex Bhd will deploy a 21-megawatt peak rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at its facilities nationwide.

In a tie-up with clean energy expert Solarvest Holdings Bhd, Scientex said in a joint statement that it will deploy the solar PV systems across 10 key manufacturing plants and at its headquarters.

“It is scheduled to commence in May 2024 and by January 2025, the project is expected to generate enough renewable energy (RE) to offset about 14,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) annually,” it said.

The aggregate contract sum of the project is RM40.4mil.

By January 2025, Scientex said more than 80% of its manufacturing facilities in Malaysia will harness RE with solar PV systems.

“Scientex is committed to expanding its RE footprint and ultimately achieving full coverage across all facilities, driving a sustainable future for its operations,” it added.
