Cenergi offers end-to-end solar energy solutions with advanced technology for clients, to minimise environmental effect and reduce utility costs.
Cenergi is also investing in small hydropower projects using the run-of-river concept. Small hydropower plays a key role in long-term decarbonization scenarios, contributing to reaching renewable energy targets set in the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).
Impact to the Environment
Malaysia’s first independent power utility
NUR Power, another key subsidiary of UEM Lestra, is Malaysia’s first Independent Power Utility company. It specialises in the generation, transmission, distribution and retail of electricity in the country and has been granted exclusive rights to sell electricity in Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP).
As global demand for green energy increases, opportunities to invest in renewable energy increases as well. As part of NUR Power’s initiatives towards ESG compliance and to ensure continuous supply of quality as well as reliable power to its customers, NUR Power plans to develop a 100MW solar plant and is exploring opportunities in digital technology, by strategically optimising its fibre optic network assets.
