KUALA LUMPUR: Six rounds of energy bidding have been conducted by the government through the Energy Commission under the Large-Scale Solar (LSS) Programme as of Aug 31, 2025.
According to the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), 117 companies have won bids across the six rounds, with a combined total capacity of 6,028 megawatts (MW).
"Projects under LSS 1 to LSS 3 are now fully operational, while 93 per cent of LSS 4 projects have commenced operations, with the remainder in the final stages of development.
"LSS 5 and LSS 5+ projects are still in the early stages of development,” PETRA stated on the Parliament website today.
The ministry was responding to Yuneswaran Ramaraj (PH-Segamat), who had requested a full list of winning bidders under LSS 1 to LSS 5+, including the development and operational status of each approved project.
PETRA also said that the government will continue to assess the need for future LSS bidding rounds in line with national aspirations under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) to achieve 70 per cent renewable energy (RE) capacity by 2050.
"At the same time, the government will also prioritise new technologies, such as battery storage, to accelerate the national energy transition and strengthen the grid to accommodate LSS integration,” it said.- Bernama
