We are proud to have Sunseap onboard as our strategic partner who is a leader in the renewable energy segment across Asia. This will allow us to complement each other in the solar renewable space in Malaysia given their vast experience in solar energy. Our solar renewable energy segment has experienced continuous success since our maiden venture. We view this segment favourably and expect that it will continue to prosper given the eventual commencement of construction of the large-scale solar 4 project and future large-scale solar projects. This is also further supported by the government with the launch of the Net Energy Metering Scheme. This will provide us with the ability to expand our pipelines and grow our solar farms portfolio, strengthening our presence as an energy company.”

Sunseap Business CEO and Co-Founder, Frank Phuan said, “We are glad to announce our partnership with Reservoir Link as we position towards the demand for clean energy in Malaysia. We noticed the immense potential of the Malaysian market following the local government’s initiatives to encourage the adoption of solar energy through large-scale solar projects along with the Net Energy Metering Scheme which received an overwhelming response.

"This is in line with Malaysia’s aim of renewable energy capacity of 31% in 2025. We believe our entrance into the market is well timed along with Reservoir Link’s expertise in the solar renewable energy industry. Our strategic alliance will forge a strong synergy to build and operate these rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV projects."
