PETALING JAYA: IJM Land Bhd (IJM Land) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Progressture Power Sdn Bhd (Progressture Solar) to explore the deployment of a total of 40 MWp solar energy in IJM Land’s future developments. 

The partnership encompasses the pre-installation of solar rooftop PV systems with a capacity of 25 MWp for residential developments, along with the options for enabling homeowners to benefit from this implementation. The partnership also includes the development of a 15 MWp floating solar farm spanning 37.5 acres at IJM Rimbayu. Cumulatively, this solar deployment is projected to reduce 40,997 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year and over 1 million tonnes in the next 25 years.

IJM Land and Progressture Solar also will be utilising the Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) approach that will provide end-to-end management of energy assets and services for homeowners in IJM Land’s townships.

“As we move in tandem with the roll-out of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), we are leveraging on our cross-industry strengths for the implementation of RE infrastructure and solutions,” said IJM Land chief executive officer Datuk Wong Tuck Wai at the MoU signing ceremony. 

“We aim to maximise the use of IJM Land’s residential rooftop space and lake surface area in addressing solar adoption barriers such as space constraints and high capital costs. This is to ensure inclusivity towards our customers and their priorities, especially in the face of energy transition,” added IJM Land chief operating officer Datuk Tony Ling Thou Lung.

“We are honoured to collaborate with IJM Land to shape the future of sustainable urban development and accelerate the energy transition. As an end-to-end solar PV solution and service provider, we play a dynamic role in the integration of RE best practices for the real estate sector,” said Progressture Solar co-founder and chief executive officer Cliff Siaw Sze Hau. 

“As a leading clean energy provider in Malaysia, we are excited to partner with IJM Land on this transformative venture," said Progressture Solar co-founder and chief operating officer Ng Yew Weng. 

IJM Land said the partnership is set to be operationalised in line with the implementation of the Third-Party Access (TPA) for the nation’s electricity supply industry, which will enable other parties such as independent power producers (IIPs) to supply energy using Tenaga Nasional Bhd’s (TNB) transmission lines.
