The shortlisted bidders of the second Large Scale Solar (LSS) competitive bidding exercise was announced by ST in December 2017 for connection at distribution and transmission network of Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah.
This exercise did not only attract overwhelming response from the private sector but also saw a reduction in offer prices in comparison to the first LSS competitive bidding exercise in 2016. Key highlights of the second LSS competitive bidding:
The announcement was followed by a briefing session organised by ST with all the shortlisted bidders on 14 December 2017 in Putrajaya. Representatives from ST, SB, TNB, and SESB presented on the requirements of the award and processes relating to finalisation of the LSS PPAs.
Subsequent to this event, on 30 January 2018, SB conducted a session with all the shortlisted bidders for transmission-connected projects. The session was intended to facilitate the bidders in project development, particularly on processes related to grid connection and grid code requirements. SB, GSO, TNB Grid Division, GSO and TNB Metering were the key presenters in this session.
