This notification will pave the path for the development of 29.99 MW Solar PV Plant in Kedah in Malaysia.
HSSE boasts of a 10% stake in the Consortium. The project looks into the development, financing, construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance of the solar plant on a BOOT (build, operate, and transfer basis). The Commercial Operation Date for the solar project is slated to be December 2025.
