KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 26): EXAL Group has partnered with Solarvest Holdings Bhd to bring clean energy infrastructures to EXAL’s architectural developments in Sarawak.

In response to a growing demand for sustainable solutions, EXAL Group has joined forces with Solarvest to integrate cutting-edge rooftop solar PV systems and green EV charging infrastructures into their developments.

“This collaboration not only strengthens EXAL’s commitment to a more sustainable living lifestyle, but also advances its SÓLCARE sustainability efforts, which aims to reduce carbon footprints and foster a cleaner, greener Malaysia for generations to com,” stated EXAL in a media release.

“Beyond the high-efficient and durable rooftop solar PV systems, its green EV charging infrastructure is 100% powered by clean energy, further supporting the transition to a clean township through e-mobility,” it added.

EXAL also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GreenRE, Malaysia’s premier green certification body. This will ensure that EXAL’s projects adhere to internationally recognised green building standards.

GreenRE-certified homes in Malaysia are up to 40% more energy-efficient than conventional homes, reducing environmental pollution by lowering reliance on fossil fuel-generated electricity while also enhancing water efficiency and using eco-friendly materials to minimise their carbon footprint.

With GreenRE certification, properties can achieve up to 50% reductions in energy consumption and significantly lower operational costs.

“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. This partnership with Solarvest and our commitment to GreenRE certification reflects our vision for a future where sustainable living is accessible, practical, and impactful. Together, we are redefining what modern, sustainable real estate looks like in Malaysia,” said managing director of EXAL Malaysia, Albert Ko.

Meanwhile, executive director and group chief strategy officer of Solarvest, Leon Liew, said: "As a leader in clean energy infrastructure, we prioritise ESG considerations in every aspect of project construction and development. This partnership with EXAL represents our shared commitment to reducing carbon footprints and promoting sustainable living. Being born and raised in Sarawak, I am proud to be part of the sustainability property development, driving Malaysia’s clean energy transition for a greener environment for the next generations.”

With the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) 2030, Malaysia is committed to reducing its economy-wide carbon intensity by 45% in 2030 compared to 2005 levels, aiming to have 31% of its national installed capacity mix be renewable energy by the second quarter of 2025.
