Nippon Electric Glass said April 27 that it installed a solar power system on the rooftop of a building at its subsidiary Nippon Electric Glass in Selangor state, Malaysia, and began operating it March 17.
It is the subsidiary’s first solar installation, with a maximum output of 7.6 megawatts-peak (MWp). All electricity generated will be used on-site, and the company expects it to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 6,900 tons a year.
Local solar company Samaiden Group participated as a partner, handling design and construction of the facility, the company said.
In 2024, Nippon Electric Glass signed a virtual power purchase agreement, or VPPA, with LSS Hijau, a special-purpose company established by Malaysian renewable power developer Ditrolic Energy. The company said the new rooftop system is expected to further accelerate its use of renewable energy.
