KUALA LUMPUR: Solarvest Holdings Bhd has secured a contract with Dexcom Malaysia Sdn Bhd to install a 3.6 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar photovoltaic (PV) system at its manufacturing facility in Batu Kawan, Penang.
The manufacturing facility in Batu Kawan is US-based Dexcom Inc' s first overseas facility.
DexCom Inc is an industry-leading provider of continuous glucose monitoring systems.
Solarvest will serve as the engineering, procurement, construction, and commission (EPCC) provider for the installation of rooftop solar PV for the main building facilities and carpark.
With the expected generation of 3.6 MWp of clean energy, it allows Dexcom to offset 3,190 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Solarvest executive director and group chief executive officer Davis Chong Chun Shiong said the growing recognition of sustainability's significance in business operations has led to a surge in the adoption of clean energy by corporates.
He said as a result, the company's job pipeline remains strong, with a tender book of approximately 2.5 gigawatts (GW) across Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.
"We are also targeting to boost our current unbilled order book of RM550.0 million by leveraging on the release of the 800 megawatts (MW) solar PV assets quota under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP).
"With more corporations looking to reduce their carbon footprint, Solarvest is committed to providing our customers with clean energy solutions," he added.
