MK Land has taken a major step in Malaysia’s clean energy push by awarding a RM142.3 million EPCC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning) contract to Solarvest to build a 29.99MW large-scale solar plant in Kedah. Solarvest will develop the project in Mukim Padang, Meha, Kulim, under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP), Malaysia’s scheme that lets companies directly source renewable power from solar producers.

Solarvest, a Malaysian solar solutions provider with over 3,200 MW in renewable energy projects, secured an EPCC contract from MK Land Holdings’ subsidiary Citra Energies—a joint venture between Solar Citra and TotalEnergies—and assigned the work to its wholly owned unit, Atlantic Blue. Known traditionally for property development, M K Land and Solarvest aim for a long-term commitment to sustainable growth through this collaboration.
Frankie Chai, Chief Operating Officer of M K Land and Director of Citra Energies said, “It is a privilege to be able to contribute to Malaysia’s sustainable energy agenda through this strategic collaboration. This project not only strengthens M K Land’s renewable energy portfolio but also demonstrates the value of working closely with strategic allies like TotalEnergies and Solarvest. Together, we are committed to delivering a high-quality solar photovoltaic plant that supports the nation’s clean energy transition while creating long-term sustainable value for our stakeholders, and future generations.”
The collaboration is being continued through a previous appointment of Solarvest by Solar Citra, as the EPCC contractor for its maiden renewable energy project—a 10.95MW solar plant under the LSS4 scheme in Kerian, Perak—which came into commercial operation in 2023.
MK Land Holdings Berhad has a history of previous projects including residential and commercial developments like Damansara Perdana and Taman Bunga Raya in Selangor, and Klebang Putra in Perak, both in Malaysia.
