CGPP is a national mechanism that enables corporates to directly purchase renewable energy from large-scale solar power producers through the electricity grid. The mechanism helps companies with their carbon emission reduction commitments and also helps increase grid-scale renewable energy capacity in Malaysia.
Malaysia is currently experience a predictable structural growth in the renewable energy sector. The nation targets 70% RE capacity by 2050, under the National Energy Transition Roadmap, as per the national policy initiatives. It includes a corporate renewable energy supply scheme and the launch of solar ATAP (Accelerated Transition Action Programme) as the driving factors.
By July 2026, large-scale solar frameworks have been initiated by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation. It offers 2.5 GW solar capacity that is expected to attract investment ranging from MYR 13 billion to MYR 15 billion (~ $3.2 billion to $3.7 billion).
