Energy Commission To Announce Winning Bids For LSS5 In November

By Siti Radziah Hamzah

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- The Energy Commission (EC) will announce the winning bids for the fifth round of the Large Scale Solar (LSS5) programme in November, said its chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Razib Dawood.

"The announcement will be in November. I can't disclose the details. Just wait,"  he told Bernama on the sidelines of Enlit Asia 2024 here today.

In April this year, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, through the EC, announced the offer of a solar quota of 2,000 megawatts (MW) through a competitive bidding process under the next phase of the Large Scale Solar (LSS) programme.

The bidding process was for LSS5 or LSS-Energy Transition SuRiA - LSS5 targets a total capacity of 2,000MWac, and the solar power plants under the programme are scheduled to start operating in 2026.

Earlier in a plenary session, Razib said Malaysia would soon reach a solar photovoltaic capacity of 7,000 MW.
