KUALA LUMPUR, Malakoff Corp Bhd has entered into a reservation agreement with Japan’s Mitsubishi Power Ltd to secure advanced gas turbines and generators for its upcoming 1,400MW combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant project.
In a statement, Malakoff said the agreement represents a major step forward in its commitment to enhancing power generation efficiency and supporting Malaysia’s broader energy transition agenda.
The deal, signed on Oct 10, includes the reservation and procurement of Mitsubishi Power’s state-of-the-art M701JAC gas turbines and corresponding turbine generators — equipment known for their high efficiency, reliability and lower carbon emissions.
Malakoff group chief executive officer Syahrunizam Samsudin said the agreement underscores the group’s long-term commitment to delivering sustainable and technologically advanced energy solutions.
“By securing access to the advanced M701JAC gas turbine technology, we are strengthening our capabilities to produce cleaner and more efficient power. This move also reinforces Malakoff’s focus on innovation, energy security and sustainable growth in line with Malaysia’s energy transition aspirations,” he said.
The M701JAC turbine technology, developed by Mitsubishi Power, is one of the most efficient gas turbine systems available globally, offering improved output with reduced emissions. Malakoff said the adoption of this technology would help the company meet growing energy demand while reducing its environmental footprint.
The 1,400MW CCGT project is part of Malakoff’s broader strategy to diversify its energy portfolio by integrating cleaner technologies and enhancing operational efficiency. The company noted that further details of the project, including its location and investment value, will be announced upon the completion of ongoing feasibility studies and regulatory approvals.
Malakoff, one of Malaysia’s largest independent power producers, continues to align its operations with the national goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 through cleaner energy production and sustainable business practices.
