ib vogt and Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia Break Ground on 29.99 MW Solar Project under Malaysia’s CGPP

International renewable energy developer ib vogt has officially commenced construction on a 29.99 MWp solar power project in Sungai Petani, Kedah, Malaysia, following financial close with Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.. The project is part of Malaysia’s Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) and will be delivered by ib vogt’s APAC platform, with Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia acting as the long-term off-taker under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Designed with state-of-the-art bifacial modules and single-axis tracking technology, the solar farm is expected to significantly maximize solar energy capture throughout the day, contributing to an annual reduction of approximately 55,380 tons of CO₂ emissions.

The project plays a vital role in supporting Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.’s commitment to achieving 100% renewable energy sourcing by 2050. Samsung SDI is a global leader in advanced energy solutions and sustainable materials and has been actively advancing clean energy initiatives in line with its core values.

Dato’ Jung Woochang, Managing Director of Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., commented:"In support of our parent company Samsung SDI’s commitment to 100% renewable energy, we are actively pursuing clean energy partnerships to accelerate the RE100 target by 2050. Our participation in the Corporate Green Power Programme marks an important milestone in this journey. We congratulate ib vogt on the groundbreaking of this project, which represents a significant step toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future."

David Ludwig, CEO of ib vogt APAC, added:"Supply chain decarbonization is essential to the overall energy transition ecosystem. We are proud to partner with Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia in this project, supporting their efforts to decarbonize operations and promote new renewable energy capacity in the region."

Upon completion, the CGPP project will contribute to Malaysia’s national renewable energy targets, strengthening corporate sustainability efforts and providing clean, reliable power for the future. The project is scheduled to be energized in 2026.
