Clean energy solutions provider Gentari Sdn Bhd has signed two strategic collaboration agreements with Sarawak Energy Bhd and SEDC Energy Sdn Bhd to explore potential opportunities in developing and deploying clean energy solutions in Sarawak.
The signing ceremony took place during the ongoing Energy Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur, which gathers energy professionals, industry leaders, and policymakers, aiming to advance Asia’s Net-Zero Ambitions through actionable solutions for a just and responsible energy transition.
Gentari’s partnership with Sarawak Energy will focus on diversifying and enhancing Sarawak’s energy mix – enabling a more sustainable and renewable energy supply via renewable energy projects.
Meanwhile, Gentari’s collaboration with SEDC Energy will focus on producing green hydrogen by optimising Sarawak’s abundant renewable resources.
In addition, Gentari is collaborating with both the Sarawak-based organisations to establish a comprehensive and wide-ranging electric vehicle (EV) charging network in Sarawak – an initiative vital for promoting green mobility solutions and encouraging the shift towards low-carbon transportation in the state.
“We are proud to collaborate with Sarawak Energy and SEDC Energy to pursue the deployment of clean energy solutions in Sarawak and actively drive the state’s energy transition and decarbonisation efforts,” said Gentari chief executive officer Sushil Purohit.
“Our strategic partnership embodies a holistic approach to address the clean energy needs of Sarawak. By leveraging our expertise to enable end-to-end solutions, we aim to help foster a greener and more energy-resilient future for the state, besides positioning Sarawak as a regional leader in clean energy, focusing on the green hydrogen sector.”
Sarawak Energy group chief executive officer, Datu Sharbini Suhaili, said the company was excited to continue working with Petronas via Gentari, to accelerate the growth of clean, renewable energy in the state.
“With Sarawak Energy’s generation mix predominantly on renewable hydropower, we are well positioned to enhance and diversify our energy sources and further decarbonise our transportation sector,” said Sharbini.
“This collaboration reflects our commitment to driving Sarawak’s energy transition and decarbonisation initiatives while reinforcing our position as a regional leader in the renewable energy sector. This partnership is a significant step towards realising our vision of achieving sustainable growth and prosperity for our communities in Sarawak while safeguarding the environment.”
SEDC Energy chief executive officer Robery Hardin said the company’s focus on the clean hydrogen sector aims to position Sarawak as a regional frontrunner in clean energy.
To ensure the success of the strategic collaboration, Gentari will work closely with the Sarawak Government and other stakeholders in a public-private coordination framework.
The parties want to make better progress towards reaching Sarawak’s clean energy goals and fostering greater synergy and efficiency to build a sustainable future for the state.
