KUALA LUMPUR: The Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia has approved the feed-in tariff commencement date (FiTCD) for Tex Cycle (P2) Sdn Bhd’s (TCP2) two-megawatt (MW) gasification gas engine power plant in Port Klang, Selangor.
Tex Cycle Technology (M) Bhd
, TCP2’s parent company, said SEDA has approved the FiTCD to be effective retrospectively from Sept 30, 2025, with a total feed-in tariff (FiT) rate of RM0.4266 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
"This milestone follows the successful completion of the initial operation date (IOD) testing on July 28, 2025, as well as the subsequent acceptance test and performance assessment (ATPA),” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.
The waste management and recycling solutions provider said the approval enables Tex Cycle to start full commercial operations under the renewable energy power purchase agreement with Tenaga Nasional Bhd.
"The pioneering plant represents a major milestone in Tex Cycle’s expansion into the renewable energy sector. Harnessing advanced gasification technology, it converts biomass into synthetic gas (syngas) which fuels high-efficiency gas engines to generate electricity,” it explained.
Meanwhile, Tex Cycle chief technical officer Lee Junyan said by leveraging gasification, the company has engineered a low-emission, high-efficiency system that turns biomass into multiple streams of value, from syngas to byproducts like biochar and wood vinegar.
"This launch reinforces our technical capabilities and opens new doors for green industrial applications,” he added. - Bernama
