Constant Energy, a prominent renewable energy company in Asia, has partnered with ERS Energy Sdn Bhd to develop a 52 MW large‑scale solar project in Kampung Gajah, Malaysia. The project comes after Constant Energy’s successful award under the Large‑Scale Solar Round 5 (LSS5) programme, which is part of Malaysia’s effort to expand renewable energy capacity.
Under the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) agreement, ERS Energy will handle the design, procurement, and construction of the solar facility. This partnership combines Constant Energy’s regional development experience with ERS Energy’s proven expertise in delivering utility-scale solar projects in Malaysia. Together, the companies aim to ensure the project meets local regulations and is executed smoothly. The EPC contract was formalised in late 2025.
Franck Constant, CEO and Founder of Constant Energy, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration. He highlighted the support of Constant Energy’s parent group, Virya Energy, and emphasised the importance of working with capable partners to speed up renewable energy development in Malaysia. He noted that ERS Energy’s expertise, responsiveness, and practical approach were clear from previous discussions during the LSS3 programme. The project is expected to be energised by early 2027.
Alex Lum, Executive Director of ERS Energy, said the company is pleased to join hands with Constant Energy for the Kampung Gajah project. He added that the partnership would use ERS Energy’s engineering skills and local market knowledge to ensure the project is delivered safely, efficiently, and to high standards.
The Kampung Gajah project is part of Malaysia’s LSS5 programme, launched in April 2024 by the Energy Commission. With a total target capacity of 2,000 MWac, LSS5 is the largest solar quota released so far in the country. It is a key component of Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), which aims to generate 70 per cent of the country’s energy from renewable sources by 2050.
Once operational, the 52 MW solar plant will help reduce Malaysia’s dependence on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions, and strengthen energy security. The project is also expected to create local jobs during both construction and ongoing operations, supporting economic activity in the region.
Strong local partnerships remain central to Constant Energy’s strategy. By working with experienced local partners, the company can ensure regulatory compliance, operational reliability, and deeper market insight. As Malaysia continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, Constant Energy is well-positioned to provide sustainable and impactful energy solutions across the region.
The collaboration marks a significant step in Malaysia’s renewable energy journey, reflecting the growing importance of solar power in the country’s efforts to achieve a cleaner and more secure energy future.
