Energy Commission chief executive officer Abdul Razib Dawood.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Energy Commission (EC) will announce the winning bids for the Fifth Large Scale Solar (LSS5) programme in November, says its chief executive officer Datuk Razib Dawood.

“The announcement will be in November. I can’t disclose the details. Just wait,” he told Bernama on the sidelines of Enlit Asia 2024 here yesterday.

In April this year, the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry, through the EC, announced the offer of a solar quota of 2,000 megawatts (MW) through a competitive bidding process under the next phase of the Large Scale Solar (LSS) programme.

The bidding process was for LSS5 or LSS-Energy Transition SuRiA.

LSS5 targets a total capacity of 2,000MWac.

Moreover, the solar power plants under the programme are scheduled to start operating in 2026. –– Bernama
