Johor’s US$6b solar gambit


Tham: All parties play complementary roles in technical, financing and policy development.

THE announcement this week of a massive renewable-energy (RE)corridor in Johor – valued at a staggering US$6bil – has jolted Malaysia’s energy sector.

The Southern Johor Renewable Energy Corridor (SJREC), backed by the World Bank’s International Finance Corp (IFC), Johor’s investment arm Permodalan Darul Ta’zim (PDT), and RE developer Ditrolic Energy, is easily the most ambitious solar-plus-storage undertaking ever proposed in the country.
