Work on Energy Smart Grid City Malacca to begin 2014

Will transform Malacca into Asia’s first smart grid city.

The Energy Smart Grid City Malacca and the Green Special Economic Zone Malacca projects are parts of the greater “1Malaysia Smart Grid Nation” project that aims to make Malaysia a smart grid nation by 2020 and eventually carbon-free.

The project will be rolled out across Malaysia in phases. The first phase, the Rembia Nucleus Smart Grid City, is a Green SEZ expected to contribute some US$96 billion a year to the gross domestic product.

Some 20 research and development (R&D) centers will be built, employing 6,800 engineering professionals in the smart grid industrial, renewable energy and clean technology sectors in that area and up to 300,000 new green jobs.

Construction of the first 15 MW solar farm in Alor Gajah, Malacca is expected to begin after the receipt of government approvals.

Masers Energy Malaysia Sdn Bhd, which will build the smart grid city and the Green SEZ, will invest US$72 billion in the projects.
