Five govt buildings get solar installations ahead of schedule, says works minister

Five solar installation projects at government buildings in Putrajaya, totalling 779.86 kilowatts, were completed early, according to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

These installations are at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Water Research Institute of Malaysia, Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage.

The initiative, part of a larger programme funded with RM57.6 million, aims to save up to RM115 million annually and includes 23 completed projects and ongoing constructions.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 14 — Five grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) solar installation projects at government buildings have been completed ahead of schedule, with a combined installed capacity of 779.86 kilowatts, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said.

He said two of the projects were at Ministry of Foreign Affairs premises, while the other three were at the National Water Research Institute of Malaysia (Nahrim), Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID).

“This is a concrete step towards expanding the use of clean energy at government premises, while reducing operating costs and supporting more sustainable public asset management,” he said at a ceremony to hand over the projects to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and three other government premises here today.

He said the Public Works Department (JKR) had also implemented grid-connected photovoltaic and off-grid solar installations involving 46 Federal Government buildings, 283 rural schools in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, four Royal Malaysia Police border posts and an Orang Asli village.

“These projects have the potential to generate energy cost savings of up to RM115 million annually compared with conventional electricity supplies,” he said.

Nanta said the government-building solar installation programme, led by the Ministry of Economy, received an allocation of RM57.6 million, with an initial target of installing nine megawatts of capacity in Peninsular Malaysia.

As of last September, eight projects involving 23 buildings with a capacity of 5.8 megawatts had completed their Defects Liability Period (DLP), while seven projects involving 11 buildings with a capacity of 2.09 megawatts remained within the period.

He said three other projects involving 11 buildings with a capacity of 1.29 megawatts were under construction, while another project involving one building, with a capacity of 0.5 megawatts, was at the procurement stage.

“When all the systems are fully operational, the programme is projected to generate about 13,200 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, with potential gross savings of around RM5.5 million a year on government electricity bills,” he said. — Bernama

据工程部长拿督斯里亚历山大·南塔·林吉称，布城政府大楼的五个太阳能安装项目已提前完工，总装机容量为 779.86 千瓦。

这些设施分别位于外交部、马来西亚国家水资源研究所、端姑慕赫里兹医院和灌溉排水局。

该计划是总额为 5760 万令吉的更大计划的一部分，旨在每年节省高达 1.15 亿令吉，其中包括 23 个已完成的项目和正在进行的建设项目。

布城，10 月 14 日讯——工程部长拿督斯里亚历山大·南塔·林吉表示，政府大楼的五个并网光伏（GCPV）太阳能装置项目已提前完工，总装机容量为 779.86 千瓦。

他说，其中两个项目位于外交部办公场所，另外三个项目分别位于马来西亚国家水资源研究所 (Nahrim)、端姑慕赫里兹医院 (HCTM) 和灌溉排水局 (DID)。

“这是在政府场所扩大清洁能源使用、降低运营成本、支持更可持续的公共资产管理方面迈出的具体一步，”他在今天举行的将项目移交给外交部和其他三个政府场所的仪式上说。

他表示，公共工程局 (JKR) 还实施了并网光伏和离网太阳能装置，涉及 46 座联邦政府大楼、沙巴、砂拉越和马来西亚半岛的 283 所乡村学校、4 个马来西亚皇家警察边境哨所和一个原住民村庄。

他说：“与传统电力供应相比，这些项目每年有望节省高达 1.15 亿令吉的能源成本。”

南塔表示，由经济部牵头的政府建筑太阳能安装计划获得了 5760 万令吉的拨款，初步目标是在马来西亚半岛安装 9 兆瓦的容量。

截至去年九月，共有八个项目（涉及 23 栋建筑，容量为 5.8 兆瓦）完成了缺陷责任期 (DLP)，而七个项目（涉及 11 栋建筑，容量为 2.09 兆瓦）仍在缺陷责任期内。

他表示，另有三个项目正在建设中，涉及 11 栋建筑，总容量为 1.29 兆瓦；而另一个项目，涉及一栋建筑，容量为 0.5 兆瓦，目前处于采购阶段。

他说：“所有系统全面投入运行后，该项目预计每年可发电约13200兆瓦时，政府每年有望节省约550万令吉的电费。”——马新社
