Malaysia to develop its first solar power plant

The plant’s generating capacity may be too small to make the profit-minded or renewable energy advocates jump, but it marks a major step forward in the country’s drive to harness renewable energy sources to wean itself from an over-reliance on fossil fuels, which will run out one day, and its impact on climate change.

In an interview with The Star’s StarBiz, Che Khalib said the solar power plant would take 12 months for completion and would be located in the buffer zone of an existing power station in Putrajaya.
