ESC Kicks Off Preliminary Environmental Assessment for Large-Scale Solar Project in Malaysia

Share this post

ESC is advancing its commitment to renewable energy with a new preliminary environmental assessment for a large-scale solar initiative in Malaysia. This project is part of Malaysia’s Large-Scale Solar (LSS5) programme, which aims to produce 2,000MW of solar power by 2026. ESC’s assessment will cover multiple locations — with a capacity ranging from 15MW to 500MW — to evaluate their feasibility for solar development. With a portfolio exceeding 16GW of renewable energy projects across Asia, ESC plays a pivotal role in the region’s energy transition.

 

 

The LSS5 programme is essential in Malaysia’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. By introducing an additional 2,000MW of solar power capacity, LSS5 will not only diversify the country’s renewable energy portfolio but also lead to a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative aligns with Malaysia’s long-term vision for a sustainable energy future and its ambitious goal of reaching 70% renewable energy capacity by 2050.

 

 

The preliminary environmental assessment will analyse current environmental conditions and identify the potential impacts of the solar project on the environment and local communities. It will also propose measures to mitigate any adverse effects. ESC’s team will conduct comprehensive environmental and social checks to ensure compliance with all necessary regulations. The findings from this assessment will provide valuable data and insights to support ESC’s client bidding process and contribute to the successful implementation of the large-scale solar initiative.

 

 

ESC’s selection for this environmental assessment highlights its expertise and in-depth understanding of the Malaysian landscape. With previous experience supporting large-scale solar projects in the country, ESC has become a trusted partner in Malaysia’s renewable energy sector. These projects have showcased ESC’s ability to navigate complex environmental landscapes and meet stringent local and international standards. Leveraging its extensive experience and understanding of regional ecological and social dynamics, ESC is well-positioned to contribute significantly to Malaysia’s LSS5 programme.
