PETRONAS’ Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project which has been installed on Suria KLCC shopping mall rooftop emerged as first runner-up in the Commercial Based On-Grid Category of the ASEAN Energy Award 2013.
The project, which was PETRONAS’ first venture into renewable energy, uses six different types of solar technologies with the objective to study and identify a solar technology that applies well with the Malaysia’s climate.
The installation of the PV also provides vital data and information on its applications and performance under the country’s climate.
The 685 kilowatt peak system installed on the 9,000 square-meter rooftop is able to generate power capacity up to 600 megawatt hours per year. This is equivalent to generating clean energy for 250 typical Malaysian households annually with an average consumption of 50,000 kilowatt hours each month.
The clean energy generated from the system currently supplies 30 per cent of Suria KLCC’s energy requirement. It also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission by approximately 360 tonnes carbon dioxide (CO2) annually.
The award was presented by YBhg Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili, Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, Malaysia, at the 31st ASEAN Minister of Energy Meeting (AMEM) held in Bali, Indonesia on 25 September 2013. Present to accept the award was the project leader, Mr Md Shah Mahmood, who is Head of Project Studies at PETRONAS Technology and Engineering Division.
Chief Executive Officer of the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA) who was also present at the award ceremony, YBhg Datin Badriyah Abd Malek, lauded PETRONAS’ venture into renewable energy.
“We hope to see more corporations in the country participate in the development of renewable energy and contribute to the country’s energy sustainability”, she added.
The Solar PV Project signifies PETRONAS’ commitment towards sustainable development and paves the way for it to explore opportunities in green and renewable energy.
The winner of the Commercial Based On-Grid Category of the ASEAN Energy Award 2013 was the Sathingphra District in Songkla Province, Thailand for its electricity-generating wind turbine project.
The Asean Energy Award 2013 received 18 participations from across ASEAN countries vying for recognition for their outstanding works in renewable energy and best energy efficiency practices.
Incepted in 2000, the ASEAN Energy Award is an annual competition organised by the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) to recognise outstanding works in the areas of renewable energy development namely hydro, wind, biomass, geothermal and solar as well as best practices that contribute to energy efficiency in the region.
