PORT KLANG: The Pulau Indah Power Plant (PIPP) is a blueprint for how Malaysia can build smarter and cleaner energy solutions through collaboration, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said the project is a model of cooperation where federal goals and state actions align, ensuring clear governance while fostering lasting public-private partnerships.
“With the commissioning of the PIPP, we are not simply bringing new capacity online. I strongly believe we are reinforcing Malaysia’s commitment to energy security and sustainable growth,” he said at the inauguration of the PIPP.
Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, described the PIPP as among the most advanced and efficient generation assets of its kind in Malaysia.
“It stands as a milestone that reflects Malaysia’s bold energy ambitions and confidence in a fast-changing global landscape,” he said, Bernama reported.
Fadillah said the project is a joint venture with Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco), whose 25% equity participation marks Korea’s first-ever investment in a Malaysian power plant, affirming the strength of the country’s energy sector and the Selangor government’s execution capability.
The PIPP is a 1,200 megawatt combined-cycle gas turbine facility located in Pulau Indah, owned and operated by Pulau Indah Power Plant Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between Worldwide Holdings Berhad and Kepco.
PIPP achieved its commercial operation date on March 1 under a 21-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and has generated over 2,500 job opportunities throughout its development.
Built on a 24.3ha reclaimed site adjacent to the Port Klang Free Zone, the project is officially listed under the First Selangor Plan (RS-1) 2021-2025 and classified as a high-impact project.
