KUALA LUMPUR (June 25): Ibraco Bhd (KL:IBRACO) said its associate company Equinox Power Sdn Bhd has signed a 30-year power purchase agreement with the utility arm of Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) for a large-scale solar photovoltaic project in Sarawak.
In a filing on Bursa Malaysia, the construction company said Equinox Power — 24.5%-owned by Ibraco — entered into an agreement with Syarikat Sesco Bhd on Thursday.
Under the agreement, Equinox Power will be responsible for developing, constructing, owning, operating, and maintaining a 100-megawatt alternative current (MWac) solar facility located in Similajau, Bintulu division.
The group added that the facility would supply electricity to Syarikat Sesco upon the commencement of commercial operations, which is expected for December 2029.
Ibraco said the agreement is not expected to have any material impact on the group’s earnings or net assets for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2026, as the project is still in its development stage.
However, it is expected to contribute positively to future earnings once the facility becomes operational.
Shares of Ibraco ended flat at RM1.16 on Thursday’s market closing, giving the group a market capitalisation of RM633.4 million.
