EPPSB, AMS Collaborating On Solar PV Project
ISKANDAR PUTERI, Jan 14 (Bernama) -- Eastern Pacific Industrial Corporation Bhd (EPIC), through its subsidiary, Eastern Pacific Properties Sdn Bhd (EPPSB), is collaborating with Advantage Marine Services Sdn Bhd (AMS) to implement a solar energy project in Gelang Patah.
In a statement, EPIC said the project involves the installation of a 74.4 kilowatt-peak (kWp) rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system under the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP).
The company was appointed as the principal provider of solar PV system infrastructure for AMS’ warehouse and yard facilities.
“This is EPPSB’s first project in Johor, marking a strategic step in penetrating the Southern Region market and expanding the company’s renewable energy solutions offering nationwide.
“Installation works are scheduled to commence in early February and will cover the system design, procurement of materials, installation, testing and commissioning phases, which are expected to take 40 days,” it said.
The agreement signing ceremony was officiated by EPIC’s group chief executive officer Dr Ts Muhtar Suhaili and AMS managing director, Andrew Teow.
Muhtar said the project reflected the group’s commitment to driving the company’s growth, in addition to supporting the nation’s energy transition agenda through practical, high-impact renewable energy solutions.
“It will not only help the company penetrate the Southern Region market, particularly Johor, but also serve as a catalyst in helping industry partners optimise energy efficiency and reduce their operational carbon footprint,” he said.
He highlighted that EPPSB is a registered PV service provider as well as a registered PV investor under the Energy Commission and the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia since last year.
"We will continue to expand strategic collaborations such as this to support the development of a sustainable and competitive clean energy ecosystem.
“This is in line with national aspirations towards a low-carbon economy, while also supporting AMS in implementing more energy-efficient, sustainable and sustainability-driven operations,” added Muhtar.
