Huasun Energy Partners with ITRAMAS for 1.5 GW Solar Initiative
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Huasun Energy has officially announced a groundbreaking partnership with Malaysia’s leading solar power developer, ITRAMAS Corporation Sdn. Bhd. This strategic collaboration, unveiled at the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2024, will focus on the development of 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic projects across the nation. Witnessed by YB Tuan Mohd Rafizi Bin Ramli, Malaysia’s Minister of Economic Affairs, the partnership is anticipated to transform the solar landscape in Malaysia and the broader ASEAN region.
A New Dawn for Solar Power in Malaysia
The signing of the Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) marks the beginning of a significant chapter for both companies, as they align towards a common goal: advancing Malaysia’s green energy initiatives. The agreement stipulates that starting in 2025, Huasun will provide high-efficiency 700W+ heterojunction (HJT) solar modules to support ITRAMAS’s large-scale solar projects. These high-performance modules are pivotal in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of solar power generation in the region.
In a statement, Huasun’s Executive Director remarked, "This partnership not only strengthens the solar supply chain in Malaysia but also introduces cutting-edge photovoltaic technologies, fostering innovation in the ASEAN solar market."
Riding the Wave of Renewable Energy
Malaysia’s geographical advantages—such as its tropical climate, plentiful sunlight, and extended daylight hours—position it as a prime location for solar energy development. The Malaysian government is pursuing ambitious energy transition goals, as outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This roadmap projects that renewable energy will constitute 70% of the energy mix by mid-century, with solar power alone expected to contribute a significant 58%.
As a frontrunner in the renewable energy sector, ITRAMAS is already making strides. Currently operating more than 200 MW of solar projects and with an additional 1.5 GW in development, the company is dedicated to supporting the nation’s energy transition through its engineering and infrastructure capabilities.
Expert Perspectives on the Collaboration
Industry experts view this collaboration as a timely response to Malaysia’s urgent need for more sustainable energy solutions. “Huasun and ITRAMAS are well-positioned to lead the charge in Malaysia’s renewable energy transition,” noted Dr. Amirul Hazim, a renewable energy analyst. “Their combined efforts will bolster the local solar ecosystem and set the stage for innovative advancements in PV technology.”
The Commitment to Clean Energy
Huasun, recognized globally as the largest manufacturer of HJT solar products with a production capacity of 20 GW, has already made a mark on the international stage by supplying over 7 GW of solar products to more than 40 countries. This strategic partnership with ITRAMAS will enable Huasun to expand its footprint in Malaysia while contributing to the global sustainability goals through continuous innovation in the solar industry.
The Impact on the Local Community and Industry
This milestone partnership is expected to have far-reaching implications, both economically and environmentally. It is anticipated that the collaboration will create job opportunities in solar installation, maintenance, and technological development, further empowering community engagement in sustainability efforts. Local suppliers and contractors stand to benefit from new business opportunities in the burgeoning solar sector.
With Malaysia’s grid becoming increasingly reliant on renewable energy sources, the introduction of advanced photovoltaic technologies through this partnership not only enhances energy independence but also aligns with global initiatives to combat climate change.
A Vision for a Sustainable Future
As the world shifts towards renewable energy, partnerships like the one between Huasun and ITRAMAS serve as critical building blocks. Both companies are committed to fostering a greener future for Malaysia, providing innovative, efficient energy solutions, and leveraging their respective strengths to achieve mutual goals.
