KOTA KINABALU: SD Guthrie Berhad (Guthrie) and Gamuda Energy Sdn Bhd (Gamuda) have partnered to develop, own, and operate solar power assets, including energy storage, with a combined target capacity of 1.2GW.

The collaboration leverages Guthrie’s extensive landbank and Gamuda’s expertise in renewable energy projects across the Asia Pacific.

Guthrie’s first 15MW Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) solar plant in Bukit Selarong, Kedah, is expected to start operations in Q4 2025.

The partnership aims to meet rising renewable energy demand from industrial and data centre users, enhance Guthrie’s land value, and support Malaysia’s decarbonisation goals.

The initial phase will identify under-utilised Guthrie land nationwide for solar development, with further announcements planned.
