Northern Solar wins RM34 million contract for 9.5MW solar plant
The award takes jobs secured in 2026 to about RM153.4 million, according to the company.
Northern Solar Holdings Bhd has won a RM34 million contract for a large-scale solar photovoltaic plant with capacity of 9.5MW. The company announced the award on Oct 7, a day after its move to Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market from the ACE Market.
Its wholly owned subsidiary, Northern Solar Sdn Bhd, accepted the letter of award. The work covers engineering and procurement as well as construction and commissioning. Northern Solar said confidentiality provisions prevented it from naming the awarding party.
The company said the plant is scheduled to start commercial operations by May 1, 2027. The new award follows large-scale solar contracts worth RM119.4 million secured in March 2026, while its unbilled order book was RM189.3 million at end-June 2026.
Managing director Lew Shoong Kai said Northern Solar would prioritise meeting project specifications and schedules, alongside control over costs, working capital and execution risk.
Northern Solar shares ended trading at RM1.16 on Oct 7, down 12 sen or 9.38%. The closing price valued the group at RM459 million.
