A consortium led by Masdar has been selected to develop a 200-MWac/300-MWp floating solar power plant at the Chereh Dam in Pahang, Malaysia.
The project was awarded under Malaysia’s large scale solar cycle 5+ programme and will involve Malaysian partners Citaglobal and Tiza Global. It will span approximately 750 acres of water surface and supply electricity to over 100,000 homes annually. It is valued at MYR850 million and will be the first major initiative under the 10-GW renewable energy roadmap established in 2023 between Masdar and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority. The Chereh Dam project will be Masdar’s largest floating solar venture
