Solarvest Holdings Bhd has announced its entry into Brunei’s clean energy sector by securing the country’s largest national solar development to date. The contract was awarded through its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantic Blue Sdn Bhd, under a joint venture with Serikandi Oilfield Services Sdn Bhd and Khazanah Satu Sdn Bhd. The joint venture entity, Seri Suria Power (B) Sdn Bhd, will spearhead the initiative.
According to a corporate statement, the project is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2025 and will see the development of a 30MW solar photovoltaic power plant. The facility will be located on a 33.29-hectare remediated landfill site in Kampong Belimbing, Brunei.
The undertaking will position the new solar plant as the largest of its kind in the nation upon its targeted completion by the end of 2026. The solar installation is projected to generate an estimated 64,473,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This renewable output is expected to offset approximately 645,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 92 million tonnes.
Solarvest, a regional developer specialising in clean energy infrastructure, noted that this project underscores its strategic push into new markets and reinforces its commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions across Southeast Asia.
