KUALA LUMPUR: Shell Malaysia Ltd and Progressture Power Sdn Bhd have partnered to install up to 20 megawatt peak (MWp) of solar capacity on the roofs of over 600 retail stations nationwide. This initiative reinforces Shell’s commitment to powering Malaysians’ daily journeys with clean energy and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Shell Malaysia outlined its plans as part of the Powering Progress strategy, which aims to reduce Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, using 2016 as the baseline year. The solar installation is expected to generate up to 25,550 megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean energy annually, enough to power up to 7,392 households.
Shell Malaysia and Singapore’s general manager of mobility, Seow Lee Ming, emphasized that this commitment is a step towards Shell becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, delivering value to shareholders, customers, and society. The goal is for all of Shell’s retail stations across Malaysia to be solar-powered
by the end of 2025, empowering consumers to participate actively in Malaysia’s green energy transition.
Progressture Solar’s co-founder and chief operating officer, Ng Yew Weng, highlighted that the partnership underscores the essential role of clean energy in decarbonizing the energy sector. By aligning their strengths and committing to Net Zero by 2050, they aim to set the standard for decarbonization in the industry.
This transformation supports Malaysia’s ambitious climate goals, including a 45 per cent reduction in carbon intensity against gross domestic product by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. Through this partnership, Shell aims to accelerate its transition to clean energy while contributing to Malaysia’s national emissions reduction targets.
