Berjaya Corp said it plans to develop Malaysia’s first large-scale solar photovoltaic power plant in central Selangor state, estimated to cost about RM180 million.

The 10-megawatt plant, to be located on a 50-hectare site, will be ready by 2011 and be able to generate power to supply electricity to 3,000 homes, it said in a statement today.

The project is a “precursor” to developing a 50-megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant in the future should the first plant be successful, it said in a statement today.
