Malakoff, New Energy to develop EV charging infrastructure

KUALA LUMPUR: Malakoff Corp Bhd's unit Malakoff Radiance Sdn Bhd has teamed up with New Energy Asia Sdn Bhd to jointly deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
New Energy Asia, a joint venture between Hicom Engineering and Hangzhou Flash Charge, is currently exploring a partnership with Malakoff Radiance to support Malaysia's transition to clean mobility.
Malakoff said in a statement that the partnership aims to develop integrated solar and EV charging solutions to support carbon-free mobility, share technical expertise and resources for effective implementation and explore business opportunities across Asean.
The collaboration focused on integrating advanced EV charging solutions with Malakoff's solar infrastructure, where both parties aim to leverage their respective expertise to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions across the country.
Malakoff managing director and group chief executive officer Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib saiinitiative d the reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen renewable energy (RE) portfolio through partnerships that drive real-world outcomes.
Anwar Syahrin said the company recently secured its largest single-site deployment to date involving a 4.22 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar power purchase agreement with Hicom Automotive Manufacturers (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.
He said the new agremment built on the success of a 2.0 MWp installation at the same facility in Pekan, which has already reduced grid electricity usage by around 7.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh) and avoided nearly 5,489 tCO₂e in emissions.
"We see this collaboration with New Energy Asia as a natural extension of that momentum, enabling us to integrate clean mobility solutions alongside our solar infrastructure and deliver greater value across the clean energy ecosystem," he added.

Sarawak's 11th Multifuel Station in Batu Kawa to open soon

KUCHING: The Petros Multifuel Station (MFS) in Batu Kawa is set to begin operations soon, making it the 11th MFS in Sarawak and the second flagship station in the state equipped with hydrogen dispensing capabilities. In a statement today, Sarawak Economic Development Corporation Energy (SEDCE) said the physical structure of the station has been fully completed, and the team is now working closely with regulatory authorities to ensure full compliance before commissioning. 'MFS Batu Kawa is the second flagship station after MFS Darul Hana. It is designed to offer conventional fuels, fast electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen dispensing,' it said. According to the statement, MFS Batu Kawa will receive its hydrogen supply from MFS Darul Hana, which houses an on-site hydrogen production plant with a capacity of 150kg. 'The hydrogen will be transported via tube trailers, and a Mobile Hydrogen Refuelling System will be used to dispense the fuel. This distribution model is the first of its kind in the region,' it added. Earlier today, Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian visited the site and was briefed on the station's progress and key features. SEDCE also said that the Koperasi Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (KOBOPEM) was appointed earlier this year as the operator of MFS Batu Kawa to support the cooperative in generating sustainable income for its members. To date, 10 multifuel stations are fully operational across Sarawak, namely in Darul Hana (Kuching), Daro, Kanowit, Kuala Matu, Brooke Drive (Sibu), Selangau, Tatau, Kapit, Sungai Asap, and Jepak. Meanwhile, SEDCE said four more flagship stations are in the pipeline in Sri Aman, Sibu, Bintulu, and Miri. Construction of the Bintulu station at Jalan Sultan Iskandar is expected to begin in the second half of this year. 'Three MFS are currently under construction, and more than 40 sites are in the planning and processing stages across Sarawak. 'Once completed, these stations will provide customers with a network of EV charging facilities in addition to conventional fuels,' it added.
