PETALING JAYA, Gadang Holdings Bhd announced that its consortium has secured a contract to develop a large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSSPV) power plant in Tawau, Sabah, valued at RM52 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday, the construction and property development group said the award was received by Tenaga Aspirasi Sdn Bhd, its indirect 60%-owned subsidiary. The contract, for the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of a 15MWac solar facility, underscores Gadang’s growing involvement in Malaysia’s renewable energy sector.
The project was awarded through a consortium formed between Gadang’s wholly owned unit, Gadang Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd, and JS Solar Sdn Bhd. Together, the partners will be responsible for the full EPCC scope — covering the plant’s design, procurement of materials and equipment, civil works, installation, as well as testing and commissioning to ensure compliance with technical and safety standards.
According to Gadang, the contract is set to run for a period of 14 months, with completion targeted for the final quarter of 2026. Once operational, the LSSPV project is expected to contribute to Sabah’s renewable energy supply, in line with the nation’s broader clean energy transition under the government’s energy roadmap.
“The award of this project is anticipated to contribute positively to the group’s revenue and earnings throughout the contract duration,” Gadang said, adding that the venture is consistent with its strategy of diversifying into sustainable energy infrastructure.
Industry observers note that the latest win further strengthens Gadang’s track record in delivering infrastructure and utility-related projects, while also supporting Malaysia’s push to increase the share of renewable energy in its national energy mix.
