KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 8): A Kinergy Advancement Bhd (KL:KAB)-led consortium has formalised an equipment supply agreement for the planned 1.5 gigawatt (GW) combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant project in Perlis. 

Consortium members include Sirage Holdings Sdn Bhd (Sirage) and B.Grimm Power, one of Asean’s most established and diversified power and energy companies.

According to a statement issued on Thursday by the company, the supply agreement covers the supply of one 9HA.02 gas turbine and one H78 generator for the first phase of the multi-phase new Teknologi Tenaga Perlis Consortium (TTPC) facility.

Kinergy, as the lead consortium member, has grown from an engineering contractor to a full-fledged project developer, overseeing power plant development, execution and operations.

Secured in 2025, the TTPC site gives Kinergy access to existing transmission, gas and water infrastructure, and a proven power-generation location that previously hosted a 650MW CCGT plant. The company said as a ready brownfield site, it allows for faster development of a next-generation power plant and supports Malaysia’s energy transition efforts.

The project also strengthens Kinergy’s growth prospects, backed by its role as PETRONAS Gas Bhd’s (KL:PETGAS) local technical partner and main EPCC contractor for the 72MW Sipitang and 120MW Labuan gas engine power plants, demonstrating its capability to take on larger EPCC projects.
